jforeworb Lulled in the countless chambers of the brain, Our thoughts are linked by many a hidden chain, Awake but one. and lo, what myriads rise! Each stamps its image as the other flies. From the dwarfed and misshapen body of Alexander Pope issued this exquisite thought on Memory . She is a sad little sprite in many waysgthis elusive, will-o'-the-wisp fairy that we have christened Memory. How many times, coming fresh from some fair sight, moved by some great emotion, stirred by either joy or sorrow, have we thought that never could we forget this. And yet, the years pass on and the sight, the emotion, were it gay or sad, loses its intensity in our untenable minds, and dims as surely as do all things of this world. Four happy years-stereotyped or not, we must say it, hackneyed or no, it must be spoken-ffozzr Izappy years have been erased from our allotted number, and in their place is a memory, vivid and inspiring! But, classmates, let us keep it clearwthis remembrance of our youth. Shall not our lulled thoughts 'llinked by the hidden chain, too, be suscep- tible to the one keynote that shall clearly recall all our High School days? Let this ANNUAL be that thought, for such is its purpose. The staff realizes the necessity of acknowledging all the faults of this book, and of humbly apologizing for the same. VV e must excuse ourselves for all errors-actual and visionary, and prostrate ourselves for mercy at your feet. All of which, that we may not be accounted eccentric, we hasten with all conventionality to do. The work is done. VVe have given our minds and labor! Do you criticise. Through this medium the staff expresses their indebtedness to the advertisers by whose patronage the publication of thebook has been rendered possible, and we would especially acknowledge the valuable aid of Mr. Waldemar C. Hirsehfeld, VQS, whose drawings have so added to the appearance of the 1906 ANNUAL. -111110 the sixth.
