WHY THIS BO0K You have glanced at the cover. lt is green and brown. Now you open the book. Trees, fish and racoon caps seem to have a predominant spot on every page .... What the . . . ? Why the . . . ? etc., etc. ad fmfinitum .... We have anticipated every question and our answers are ready. Like Emerson we too believe a man should be a non- conformistf' Every year the covers have been blue or white with alternating printing. Sure. We know that the school colors are Navy Blue and White. So what? We thought green and brown would be a welcome change. Knowing that some people would storm, kick, scream and what have you, we decided to face the storm and do as we please. You have answered that question, you say, but what of the fish, trees and racoon caps? . . .Again we answer... What is it that plays so important a part in Marietta College life? What is it that carries every poster announc- ing a candidate for queen or student body president? What is it that is bruised with nails and tacks holding a sign which tells you that there will be no assembly to- morrow, or Jim What-you-call-em is speaking at a club meeting? . . . You may feel like a squirrel every time you climb one of our stately elms to read a notice, but you TE Ely must admit the tree is important in Marietta Campus life .... The fish represents the rivers. They too are im- portant in our history .... Without the rivers-no crew races . . . and where would we be without those cooling dips, when summer's heat has threatened our very exist- ence? . . . We might add, without the rivers there would be no Marietta for it was the river which brought the founding fathers to establish the city .... We are proud of our Pioneer heritage .... MC remains the Pioneer College of the Middle-west .... Not content to bask in the bright- ness of past successes, we move steadily onward, pioneer- ing as we go .... The racoon cap and powder horn have been replaced with modern inventions of science, but ever will they remain a symbol of the Pioneer Spirit which founded a great country. We have tried to show that our trees, rivers, pioneer spirit, and traditions are complementary . . . that trees, rivers, pioneer spirit and Marietta College are inseparable.
