l Cx. 6 EDXTOR IL .H xx fl S 805. MCA? We most humbly present to you this book, we who are the staff. For many months contributions, plans elaborate, schemes and sales talks so fierce have bombarded our work room. And they have culminated in these two covers, this work. ' This type of thing is done for principally, two reasons. First, there are those whose interests lie in publication, and they would have a project. Secondly, there are those who want a memento, a monument to their years at school. We should like to emphasize the significance of this memento, and the school year it covers. That year and its happenings. Think -now, what has happened? Broaden your scope of memory, not just to view our school, or even our community. But go beyond. Perceive the change, the social, economic, and political revolution which is of an age. That history text, do not wonder at the problems, the turmoil of the ages past. Come and live to-day and grasp ITS problem! For in this year of 194-1, this year of war, this year of political change . . . even in our own land . . . there is a CHALLENGE laid downto YOU. . The revery and the fun these pictures portray. Your love of the class- mates besides you . . . How would you perpetuate these? What is your question, and what is your answer? Wherever a11d whatever they are, they are the purpose of this OLYMPIAN. ,F H

Dedication A life. And the dedication of that life to the goodness of Truth and Learning. And the world, closer still, the society here which is ours, both in need of that same Truth and Learning. And so there is the appreciation expressed in our dedicating this, The Olympian of 1941, to e HARRY DOANE teacher, scholar, and principal pillar of the Chemistry Department of Junior College, who, after twenty-five years of educational work, would this year retire -Q we know, to thoughts of complete satisfaction of the feeling of just accomplishment, a work well done. And with your leaving us, sir, .we find that we not only suffer the loss of your personally,.but of that fine ,constructive conservatism which is of you. You who moulded axcultured and intelligent democracy. It is a quality fast fading, and hard to discern in this world inodeifne. ' We respectfully honor you and that for which you stand. May therebe many more years added to so noble an exis- tence.
