To C. H. S. WOULD be perfection could I wield the pen In just description and unequalled praise Of this old school which in our childhood days Has bent us to our helpful duties when Our minds turned from the paths of usefulness. Oft ' in free thought we let our vision raise And rest a moment in adoring gaze Upon the sunny mountains which have been The grounds of many great historic scenes These of themselves now give us love and pride For school and state, our helpers side-by-side And may our pleasure be within our means To carry on sweet memories of . these days That cannot be excelled in life ' s rough ways.

Foreword ,EYEN years ago a group of enthusias- tic Seniors, with a few Juniors and Sophs to help keep up their enthusiasm, got together and called themselves the Annual Board. Their common intention was to produce an annual, which they proceeded to do. This was the first link of The Chain, so called be- cause it was then assumed that annuals would flow in an endless chain of literary brilliancy. The second link followed the next year, but the appearance of the Bumble Bee put a stop to the forging of more links, and it was not until 1921 that it was possible to pro- duce a third one. You have all heard of old Darwin’s theory, and how it involves the missing link. Pray, Gentle Reader, peruse the contents with due allow- ances for the wild nature of those Missing Links ! May The Chain henceforth be strong as those forged by Vulcan, and as beautiful as though by Cellini. [ 9 ]
