lglllluu PI'6'f3.C6 Gnce more the old mill-wheel has turned and we, the Class of 1908, with a fair knowledge of our own insigniticance and some appreciation of the duties and ,the privileges which lie before us, are turned out, to take our places along with the thousands already in the great stream of life. lt is with the joy of newly discovered powers and abilities, which, though slight in themselves, are auguries of useful lives, that we enter upon the larger duties. As we are about to leave our alma mater we dedicate this book as a memorial. VVhoever expected to find this year-book of the Class of 1908 a great literary production or a work of art, is doomed to disappointment in his expectations. The only remarkable thing about the book is the Class which it represents. In spite of the absence of secret society matter and the de- plorable fact that we have not, as a school, been represented by either a boys' or a girls' basketball team, we have earnestly endeavored to keep up the high standard set by our predecessors. 'What we lack in quantity, have we sought to make up in quality. Now to our advertisers and subscribers our thanks and cor- dial acknowledgments are due. The former, may they prosper' the latter, may they live long. v JUNE THE TENTH.
