Our 'Theme WITH magic swiftness time leads us onward through life. We soon find the sweetest years of our lives beyond our ability to reclaim. They live again only in memory and, ere long, are sunk into oblivion—forgotten in the march of time. We do not know when time began. We can only measure it as far back as man has reckoned it in units. In the earliest historical years, astronomers, who were the wise men of the time, studied the skies seeking to solve the mystery of the universe. These men created our first calendar out of which has grown the present day system of measuring time in years, months, and days. During early years astrologers were condemned to torture and death for their mystic practice of seeking to predict the future by the stars. In the Signs of the Zodiac they divided the year into twelve periods governed by different stars in the heavens. The earliest time piece was the hour glass which, together with the sundial of a later period, is kept today as an object of beauty and interest. Grand towers, many of which hold famous clocks, mark the progress man has made as he has traveled with time through the ages. Today we. too. arc building memorials that shall withstand the wear of time. Though we may be forgotten, our accomplishments within our school will be remembered by the students that follow us just as we remember, on our tenth anniversary, the achievements of those who have gone before us.
