teme HEAR YE ' HEAR YE! Sound, sound the clarion; fill the fife ! To all the circumambient world proclaim ' One tiny hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name Embooked now before you, as beautifully as we could book it. is the person-colored activity of our latest College Year. (Flourish Banner and Trumpet !). Every mother ' s Son and Daughter enrolled on the college books for 1939-1940 is represented somehow in the Book. (Roll, Drum ! Ring, Bell!). Quintessence of Youthful Life Hail! (Huzzahs 1 ). Like no other day ever, is this Day; like no other year, this Year; like no other book ever, this Book! (Strike up the Band!). Gone is the Age of Iron, of Bronze, of Jazz; gone are the Tremu- lous years of the Thirties; gone, the furtive Idealisms, the Sham Cloister. This is the Book of New Beginnings, the latest Syllable of Recorded Time. (Blow, Bugle!). And now as the Forties come roaring in with War again staining the far, dark Horizon we Youthful Ones do here denounce that Evil and its brood— the Hypocrisy, the Greed, the ruthless Strides of tiger Power, the social Scurvies, the smug and leaden-footed Traditional- isms, all the Razzle-dazzle, all the Trivial and Shoddy. We ask our Elders to join us honestly in seeing Life steadily and seeing it whole. For we are in a perilous Drama together as Toilers under Fate Let us be true to One Another lest the Drama again turn tragic (Cym- bals, Clash ' ). A Yearbook is like a revolving Door . . . through it pass the Months, as on Review, and through it like Figures haunted by sweet Ghosts, we also pass, we Youthful Ones, out into the world of After-days. (Kettle-drums, beat ' ). Reader, Viewer, be gentle . . . we ' ve tried to represent You in your best Bib and Tucker, so to speak, as the Months in 1939-40 drew you after them, filling the Campus with Color and Drama. Blame not us if you aren ' t beautiful — blame Heredity— or the perversity of Mother Nature. (Soft Music, Play ' ).

To the Students of Florida Southern College Dear Friends: First of all I want to congratulate the editors and business managers of the 1940 edition of The Interlachen. I believe that you will agree with me that it is an attractive book. To the seniors this will be an invaluable book as the years unfold. It will bring back to them thousands of happy memories. The college will miss them next year. As they go but to represent Florida Southern I want to wish for each one of them much satisfaction and enjoyment in all of their undertakings To you who will return next year I want to wish for you a happy summer. Next year will be better for us. Our beautiful chapel will be finished, and the new indus- trial arts building will be under construction. The whole E. Stanley Jones Foundation will begin to take shape. As your president I take great pride in all of your successes. I hope you will always keep in mind that I shall ever remain Your friend, LUDD M SPIVEY.
