lNTRODll6Tl0N T0 THF B AR l06 FOR 1956 This year we have chosen Nature as a theme for our annual. Whether one has stopped to think about the influence of our natural environment or not, its influence is there. Often in late autumn I have overheard a group of fellows in study hall talking. One says, Well I finally got my buck. Another says, Boy, you should have seen the one Tommy shot- -five pointer: dressed out at 200 pounds! Gradually the talk of pheasant, duck, and deer seasons fades away, put into the background by the ermine blanket of deep winter, and thoughts turn to skiing and skating--from Terry Peak Slope to lo- cal hillside, from Blacktail Rink to beaver pond. Then in years gone by if the first of May fell upon a school day, it was declared a holiday and all went fishing. The usually crystalline streams, bordered by water seeking spruce, might be muddy with spring thaws. The purist fly fisherman in that case, after a covert look around, sometimes whipped out a number six hook, put on some garden hackle, and continued his pursuit of Brook, Loch, and Rainbow. Just as the sheltering hills shut out the dry and burning prairie winds of summer and the bitter frigidity of winter's winds, they also close around us with beauty beyond description--streams of pristine purity, autumns made rich by golden leaved birch and aspen, majestic pines, flat topped with age, pines that were standing when George Washington crossed the Delaware, pines that stood when the Sioux came to their sacred Pahasapa hunting grounds. Because of our love and enjoyment of nature and its influence upon our lives, we have employed a nature theme. Please join us on our trip through nature's realm.
