President Milo C Ross His Message Spring, 1955 . . . As I sit here in my office, the sights and sounds and smells of the present are mine. There is the bell for the next class. I feel the organ being played upon in the chapel. Daphne perfume comes in through my open window — accompanied by a lady-bug from the clinging ivy! Three Freshman girls under one umbrella run squeeling through a shower to the Music Hall. But the L ' Ami is not all of the present. It is a tradition to be valued and preserved. It means that the past still lives in the present. For ever since the coming of writing, man has been taking the fleeting present and holding it as best he may until it becomes a part of eternity. When you pick up this book after many years, you will be able to hear the victory bell, the hymns in chapel, the creek running through the canyon. The roses will bloom again. The moon will come up over the black oaks back of the library. Learning, friend- ship, love, hope, ambition, truth, toil, and consecration will wander like free spirits in and out of these pages. And fires, long since kindled, will flare up and burn the more brightly in the soul. These are the real events which happen at George Fox College. They are too subtle for any printed page to tell, but the L ' Ami will inspire a thousand recollections, inverting the hour-glass that youth may have its gracious repetitions. 4
