Four years have passed since we entered Fork Union Mili- tary Academy, as the lowest order of human species, the Freshmen. These years have gone by so rapidly, that we cannot set down all the experiences, thoughts and activities which we have enjoyed during our years at Fork Union. So we, the Skirmisher Staff, will endeavor to bring to you those important events that highlighted our stay at Fork Union. We leave to you the task of associations, for we have very different and in many cases divergent thoughts concerning our stay here. As you look through the book, remember the despair-too often felt-as well as the hope and use this brief past as a lesson to secure a future brim- ming with success. We may only hope, in any case, with some degree of assurance, that we have represented Fork Union as you have known it.
