THANKS T0 THE REINFORCEMENTS Another year has gone by, another volume of Washington history and tradi- tion has been compiled and recorded by your Continental Staff. Yet behind each great undertaking, each great achievement, there are a few people, who, although they have been instrumental in the success, still remain in the back- ground and receive little or no applause. lt is, therefore, now most fitting that we, the Continental Staff, publicly express our genuine thanks and sincere appre- ciation to those whose willing assistance and advice made the Builder issue ot the Continental. So, at this appropriate time, we say, Thanks to the Rein- torcementsf' Miss Eva L. Andrews, Publications Director Mr. Harold Hemenway Jones, Art Director Mr. William L.

Why build these cities glorious lf man unbuilded goes? ln vain we build the work, unless The builder also grows. -EDWIN MARKAM. Through the ages the world has advanced through man's constant urge to build. Under his hands wonderful cities have arisen, time and again to be destroyed by disaster. Yet mankind has tri- umphed over catastrophe. Fighting to reconstruct, often more trying than original building, he has found that the ability to salvage from ruin is still the driving power of progress. We chose the theme, The Builders, to symbol- ize the building of our futures and to celebrate the reconstruction of our school, We are but continu- ing the process old as man, building on foundations laid in ages past-adding necessary ideals, aims, and accomplishments for the fashioning of a new society and better men and women. We know we shall not complete the pinnacles, for, like the leg- endary creators of Camelot, we are making that which is never built and yet is built forever. Youth today is engaged in gathering his essential materials for building on sturdy foundations of health, knowledge, and spirit. To Constructive Youth, Builders of the World-to-Be, we dedicate this eighth volume of The Continental,
