We have aimed to publish the ANNUAL so as to interest all who shall read it. Witliin its covers we have tried to put such things as will recall pleasant days spent at Drake. and days when troubles and examinations murdered sleep and made dreams abound with horrible sights: it may recall foot-ball games, speeches, scraps, socials, contests, long, long years afteryou have left Drake and are associated with the

The gathering of material for this volume has been the thought that loomed uppermost in our mind whether on the cam pus, foot-ball ground, sitting under the piercing glance of the faculty,or modestly sitting in chapel, in the drawing room, in the society hall or striving to satisfy the pangs of hunger by eating boarding house steakg we have consulted all persons from the fat Alumni to the weak kneed Prep, the windy Fresh- man, the rattling bones of the Sophomore and have been in- spired by mighty Seniors in our midst. There wls work to do and we hung on with QM ii it K x N fs Nlllllnfg N xl main antagonist, we know you will remember us kindly be- cause of the trouble we have given you. To the Senior, when you become a thriving alumnus we know you will be large-lxeurted and generous enough to consider the ANNUAL r f '96 as one of your priceless college souvenirs. To the facul'y we say, if we have riled or ruflled your feelings, forget it and cherish our memory. Remember the way of a Junior is hard and full of trials, and the way of editors is like unto it. Do not call us hard names, grade us fairlyg console yourselves by saying, the time will come when the wicked will receive his dues. So pray that our lives may be prosperous, that our bones may rest in peace, and that our souls may escape tor- ment. To you of the class of '97 we hope this ANNUAL will be an inspiration and bring you Q ,,, S A -lx Nw. -YQ.-T2 MNZX N 1, r rlr x i , J.. S M , .AT Af Q N W1 lifl A' bf! hi A - fe .fe if- 1-':.
