Superintendent; Mr. Hughes S(;me people have remarkable memories; some keep diaries; most of us haphazardly hang onto a few mementos—a letter or two, a newspaper clipping, some snapshots. Of course the best memento of our school days is an annual. More vivid than any memory, more comprehensive than a diary, it can serve as a depository for the more personal souvenirs which will always have a special significance for us. 1 hope that this book will do more than remind you of the “dear dead days beyond recall. Our view of the past grows mellow and sentimental as Time puts the hitter disappointments into better perspective and telescopes the eventful years to squeeze out the dreary and the mo- notonous which make up so much of life. Certainly there is much to be said for the older per- son who is warm-hearted and sympathetic, and 1 should hope that none of you will turn into sour and crabby adults. Yet life demands much more of us than kind hearts and good intentions. So I hope that this book will remind you, not only of good times and pleasant associations, but also of opportunities and beginnings. As you grow older, I hope that you will become increasingly aware of the heri- tage that is yours because you live here, and of your obligation to pass it on to those who come after us, certainly in no wise diminished, and if possible even enriched and strengthened. You may not be called on to die for a cause, but courage and endurance, the vision of a better future, and the willingness to make sacrifices for the welfare of others surely will be required of you. These qualities made our country great and gave you a better chance than young people generally have ever had before, anywhere. May this book remind you of the obligation that is yours bv virtue of your good fortune. May the confidence older people have shown in you be justified not only in personal achievement but in the contributions you make to the welfare of young people in your day.
