90fz.ew-wad . . Freshmen, if you had lived in Crafton in l892, you might have teasingly performed those exas- perating pranks We have visualized you as play- ing. Sophomores, had you spent your days in Crafton in the gay nineties, you, no doubt, would have Worn the quaint costumes We have pictured you in, instead of the flashing, dashing garb of today. , Iuniors, had it been your fate to be alive a half century ago, you would have had gay, rollick- ing fun much different from your present jam sessions. Seniors, had you graduated in l892, no dinner dance would have launched your commencement festivities, instead, the great social event would have been a box social. Your whole outlook on life, although no less ambitious than it is now, would have been sighted on a different frontier, which naturally would have made your desires and behavior different from those of the graduates in 1942. In this issue of the GINKGO We have attempted to do two things. We have tried, by reproducing old pictures and by recalling pranks, modes of dress, and kinds of recreation, to revive a vivid memory of the Crafton of 1892. We have tried land this is the more importantl to recapture, by Word and picture, the memories of school activities and of teachers and chums with whom We have spent the school year of 1941-42.
