M Always, since time began, youth has faced ahead. It is in that spirit of progress that we have chosen the motion picture as the theme of our Milestone. The romance of tomorrow is in the things of today; it is in the ring of a wagon wheel on a cold morning; it is in the harsh blast of the factory whistle. We have only to look ahead and about us, instead of behind. The motion picture is a vital factor to many; we depend upon it for amusement, education, and philosophy; its ideas are our impressions. Through it we are given that blessed power of the magic carpet and thus are enabled to make acquaintance with the far corners of the earth. The characters on the screen are our friends; we know them, perhaps love them; they can creep within our very souls and whisper to us alone. To this extent is the motion pic- ture a fibre of our being. A student ' s years in college resemble strongly the dura- tion of a motion picture. There are athletic reels; there are features; and of course there is comedy. But the drama is there also, with its pathos and joy, its laughter and tears, its love, hate, anger, and fear. Meanwhile, over it all, there is the flicker, flicker of time ' s projector, the passing days that are moments, the swiftly moving scenes, now flashing, now fading . . . until the lights go on and we stand for a moment dazed by the brilliance, before we make our wax- up the aisle to the open door of the outside world.

FOREWORD Like the song that ends with the melody lingering on in our minds comes the termination of our college life, leaving pleasant memories. That the faculty and students of Eastern may have a graphic reminder of their college activities to which, in years to come, those represented may look back on familiar faces and scenes — where lifelong friendships were created and where their never ' tO ' be-forgotten college days were spent — this book was conceived. If it should, to even a small extent, serve these purposes, the effort will have been well expended. May those happy days return at each opening of this Milestone, and may the pleasant memories of Eastern linger for years to come because of such a retrospect.
