., 2 fi j k Green and Wliite K1 x !,1X,,. ' PCREWORD :Z The reason why we have dedicated the 1930 Green and Wlizte the story o our lz e here at Excelsior to Will R'Og2rS i5 because ue adnzzre zn him the abzlzty to look at lz e with a twinkle zn his eye Because he sees things as they are and because he is not a zald o the truth his wrztzngs earlessly rzdzcule the little, petty thzngs o lz e whose zalue we are so apt to oz erestzmate. Yet he does h knocking in such a rzendly humorous style that the sting is remoi ed and only his clear perspective upon lz e remains. The success o our zndzizdual lu es depends upon our ability to take the jolts and knocks with a laugh I we can deielop the gz t to see ourselves at zthers see us and look at li e rom a broad i zew point z we can laugh at ourseli es when the hard knocks come, then we can con dently face the world And that a ter all, is the azm o education to help us to meet the world successfully by broadening our lzne o izszon so that we can see across the petti- nesses o Today into the greater promises o Tomorrow.

T yN X f QQGreen and White if .M- Because we agree with the Yellow Shadow when he says that Will Rogers is one of Americas most noted hurnorists, and because we feel that he understands the adventure and romance of everyday life, we believe him to be a worthy ideal for the youth of today. Idealism begins with childhood, and whether the ultimate goal is a policeman on the corner or the President of our United States that ideal holds forth a continual inspiration and stimulates the desire to achieve. As the rugged, unconquered West of yesterday expressed itself in the careers of the dauntless pioneers, so today the spirit of the West, with its modern realism, is typified by the life of Will Rogers. Therefore, as an expression of our appreciation for the things he represents in the West today, we have dedicated the 1930 edition of the Green and White to Will Rogers, THE ANNUAL STAFF. Page Eight
