FOREWORD I AM THE YEAR BOOK of the class of 1919, and on this, your class day, I make my bow before the public eye. It is with no little fear and trembling, that my fond par- ents, the editors, send me out into the cold, critical world to meet with your approval. I am their first attempt at editing any kind of a book, and being a year book, especially yours, makes me very, very important. I am different from any of my brothers and sisters, too, so the editors are not quite sure as to how you will re- ceive me. So do try to judge me kindly. Please be lenient with my faults, and commend my good points, I beg of you. Just before I started on my way here, to you, my parents whispered these parting words into my ear: “Tell them we have done our best!” Now I have come to stay with you always. Perhaps, if you don’t like me very well at fiirst I will become dearer to you as the years pass by, because—shall I tell you my secret?—because I possessa strange, wonderful power, the power of calling to your mind beauti- ful memories of your care-free, happy high school days.
