K .wr-v an F, ir..- rr . - Fonfwonn In admiration for the spirit of chivalry and heroic adven- tures of the knights of old, we have chosen as the theme of our book, the search for the Holy Grail. Knighthood with its pageantry and adventures lives today, only the story books, and the songs of those romantic poets who have thus kept alive the spirit of chivalry. For chivalry is not dead. Its glitter of pomp and ceremony will always be a source of arousing heroism, and an inspiring influence of artistic achieve- ment. It still serves as a torchlight leading the way into visions of greater accomplishments. The child who wearily climbed the hillside across the valley in search of the house with the golden windows, only to find, as he looked back, that the golden win- dows were in his own homey the man who wandered the world over seeking a four-leaf clover, and found it beside his own doorstep when he returned: the children who set out to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, only to be disappointed when the rainbow vanished with the setting sun-these are visions of the simple and innocent, searching for a promised reward, even as Sir Launcelot who sought the Holy Grail, returned weary, worn, and old, to find it within his own soul, just outside his castle gate. As time moves on, and your memory grows dim, retain- ing but slight forms of the past, we hope as you turn these pages, and travel back through memory land, you may find within, wonderfully clean and bright, the true likeness of those scenes that give you your visions of a shining and hapDY future.
