11 is often (hiring later years that one regards with fond memory the days of liis youth, the pleasant associations of school life, and the pranks played in school. The recollec- tion and relation of them, then afford him a far greater pleasure than he. had imagined during (hose youthful days that passed all too quickly; and which are to him like the memory of a rose, faded long since, but whose fragrance still lingers. Ho it will be wiih ns. How often during the future years shall we recall the friendships, the delights, the kind- ness of those four years we spent at Dnrfee! Mow we went to school every morning, some to Tech and some to Dnrfee for three years, and how, in the fourth, when Dnrfee became the home of the upper-classmen, the two sections of the class were brought into close association! It was then that we all climbed the hill, entering this same door, just as we shall now, meeting and greeting, as we come up the stairs, the same old friends each day ! It is (he purpose of this volume to recall pictures of those happy student days; and if it can, when years have passed, bring back the old Dnrfee spirit, and enhance the friendships of former classmates, the mission of the Kkcoud Staff in preparing it will have been accomplished. Let us now open the door to the past, and may memory often bring us, during the future, back to that old building for many happy reunions.
