FOREWORD As you turn the pages of our year book, Turn back, also, the pages of history. Age after age passes by, and you Come upon that period Of hoop-skirts and pompadours, the old Colonial Days. You think of those tales handed down From generation to generation Of grand gentlemen and dames, merry, Sociable and carefree, yet dignihed. And you think of those tales As the most interesting, the most fascinating Of all history. In this, our year book, We have tried to bring back to you Some of the joy, Some of the fascination of the Colonial days. Among its pages you will catch glimpses Of the past, of that era when America, Then in its childhood, wore knee-breeches And wigs, and smiled upon A world of wine and song. At a time when American literature Was budding, When, as yet, no great books have been Dedicated to American soil, Our forefathers had visions of a book to be Published by the Class of '29, ' A book which would live through Eons of time. This is that book.
