. x l , - 9 0 Foreword - O E. To the class of 1927 is offered the Muse, carrying with it the sincere hope that the members of that class will cherish it as a memento of four happy years spent in the Meriden High School. It is the law of Life that the old order changeth, giving place to the new. We shall all depart upon new paths, each leading to a different goal. Though the embarkment may be thrilling, tinged as it is withl the lure of the unknown, yet it is saddening. It means the breaking of old ties and common links. With the passing of Time old faces, old friendships, happy events fade from our minds and are replaced by new ones. Yet how many times do we yearn to recall merry days of the past! Then does the Muse come to the rescue. Its very name reveals its purpose. Long ago, the Greeks and Romans believed that there were nine Muses who inspired those who wished to accomplish great things. Thus the poet was able to utter thoughts of great beauty and the scribe could remember many events which he set forth in a book called History. The Muse who inspired the humble scribe, likewise came to our aid, for which we shall be everlastingly grateful. Between the covers of the book are lasting portraits of the familiar faces of our classmates, and various records of school organizations. Thus would the Muse keep forever verdant the old associations, and should its mission be accomplished even in a small way, we may feel that our labor has not been in vain. 3
