The Index' 5 I ieiiaieaotattgaiu I QHE LEADING idea of the authors of Volume III. of THE INDEX has been to preserve the sentiment of the pres- ent school year-to issue in neat, durable form a book deal- ' ing with current school events. We have attempted a live souvenir whose tone shall manifest the spirit of the school in a pleas- ant, interesting way. A thought constantly before us has been not to invade too far the realm of the past, nor endeavor to pierce the future. Accordingly, history, biography, and statistics, dull or remote, are for the most part omitted. Instead, we have tried to portray with fidelity what has been recently, what we have known about together, and, hereafter, can read and live over again, with the pleasure that comes from awak- ened memories. School days, above all others, are crowded with experiences, thrilling, varied, or even verdant, which we would not let die. 'tOld songs by memory mislaid Are doubly pleasant when sometime We hear the strains again. The same is true of many past moments if suddenly recalled, and we wish this INDEX, as its name suggests, to be an agreeable guide and reference to the happier moments of school days gone by. We shall rejoice if we have inserted material, be it sentiment or so- berer fact, that is cherished in common. As critics in choosing, we have deemed worthy whatever seemed to till an aching void in the general life of our fellow students.
