Florida State University - Renegade / Tally Ho Yearbook (Tallahassee, FL)

Page 8 text:

FOREWORD There is so much we would have you remember — the look our campus had when Spring came timidly around again, the excite- ment of a school political fracas, that dynamic lecture that Changed Your Outlook on Life — these things, and so much more. What can we say to bring it back? Memories make sticky and maudlin copy, and what has happen- ed this school year of 1943-1944 has been neither sticky nor maudlin. Shall we then leave it all unexpressed and defeat our purpose as a yearbook? 3 Rather let us say it with pictures. Not with posed cap-and-gown portraits only, not with fussy but entirely candid campus views of how Femina Perfecta acted in her off-minutes alone; we have tried to crystallize on these pages the setting against which campus memories may forever play their ghostly, nostalgic role. For this reason we have begun every section with a sketch of a campus building. Let them make you remember — let them make you remember the classes you had there, and the kids who used to scuff their unwilling way with you, and the dogwood trees that stood just a little to one side. Let this be your own private year- book, full of your own private memories. That is, after all, what annuals are for — to preserve the best of your school year. Please do not pack this book away. Keep it out -look at it often. Look at these scenes, relive them, love them, come back to them. That is our purpose as a staff.
