Foreword Now is the time when we must part, We comrades of four short years, Who've shared each other's hopes and joys, Each other's griefs and fears. And yet, before we say goodbye To Alma M aier, dear, 'Tis fitting We a parting gift Should leave-shed one last tear, Laugh one last laugh together, And give to those behind A memory of other days, To keep us in their minds. This Annual, then, a loving task, VVe dedicate to you, Undergraduates of M. H. S., Bearers of the red and blue. And to all who have helped us We here our thanks extend, While the faults contained Within this book We to your mercy commend. The motto We have chosen ls our goal, not low nor mean, 'Esse quam widerif' Let us seek it, 1916! ' C7
