Preface For the sixth time is the Work of inexperienced hands thrust before the eyes of that much-suffering public, and '98, with all her fears, VVith all her hopes of future years, steps proudly forth, clad in her garb of blue and gold, ready and eager to receive the friendly criticism of those who know how we have toiled, what pleasures we have foregone, in order that this volume, the faithful chronicle of our four years' work, may be a fitting model for the Class of 99. That it will serve in this capacity any longer we do not hope, in fact, we who have the welfare of our school at heart, do not wish such a thing, for it is only a mark of progress that each class should surpass its predecessor. XVe make no apology for this volume. You who are interested in us and our work will know that our best effort lies in these pages, and better than the best we cannot do. We are ready to acknowledge that our work has many imperfections. In truth, while looking it over as it comes fresh from the printer's hands, we even then recognize some of these imperfections, and would fain try again only that we realize our inability to better them. This must be left to following classes, who, we trust, will heed the criticism bestowed upon us. YVe repeat what has been said in every ORACLE: our jokes are meant to be harmless, but, having only ourselves to judge by, we must be par- doned if we unwittingly wound sorneone's feelings. Believe us, it is not intentional, but rather remember that you will some day perhaps be in our position and then you will understand how much of the popu- larity of an Annual depends upon those cute things. YVe have had our trials in putting together this volume, but as we see the result of our year's work we are happy, for out of these troubles we have come stronger and better arrayed to iight our own battles, besides which these will appear as mole hills. And so We speed the representative of our Class on its way, trusting that, in proportion to its success, our own success may be in our chosen lines of work, and confident that those who peruse these pages are our friends. .. ..
