Ye Symbols Flemington, with its beginnings stretching back to the early days of New Jersey's history, still retains many marks of the colonial period which followed the establish- ment of permanent settlements. From this section came many men prominent in colonial annals. Their memory and accomplishments still live, and much of the work of their hands remain as monuments to their efforts to build a civilization in a new world. These memories and associations have been further commemorated in the theme of this volume. The colonial schoolhouse, and the colonial church with its pastor pointing the way to a better life, have been used to introduce that portion of the volume dealing with the administration and faculty. A section dealing with the classes is fittingly intro- duced by sketches of a colonial school room, the school- master, and the poor fellow who has incurred the master's wrath-the dunce.', Organizations and activities of this early period of our history were simple, and even crude when compared with our modern commercialized life. These early groups however, as portrayed by the quilting party, the taffy pull, minuet, stage coach, and military drill, present a composite picture of people who were able to provide their own leisure-time activities. Colonial sports as such, were not as organized or as numerous as the activities included under that name today. The hunt, for men, croquette and skating for both men and women, form the prelude to the athletic section. The courier and the town crier were chosen as fitting subjects to represent the space devoted to advertisements.
