To THE STUDENTS: As we approach the end of another school year, some of you, perhaps, will recall with regret the days which have passed and will not return. Those were your school days: happy days, they were-days of fun and laughter, days of work and labor. You have recorded in this book the activities of the year which you will cherish as pleasant memories. However, this is not the time to reflect on the days which are gone, but to anticipate the events which may yet be recorded in the annals of your life's history. Sincerely, I Wish you happiness, but I wish that joy to be real-to be genuine. Life is a serious yet glorious game. I hope you may face with bold- ness and confidence, the issues which will confront you. I wish you to be fair to your adversary, yet true to your own ideals. I would have you strive resolutely for the good and wholesome principles of manhood and womanhood. The years will swiftly come and go, and I, perhaps, shall pass from your memory. May the God of our being grant that the lessons you have learned con- tinue to guide you always, and when you have come at last to the journey's end. may you be able to look back on a life well spent-a life of service and of happiness.
