© EFORE the rock-bound wealth of Nature becomes of value to man it must be wrenched from the hidden depths, crushed in the maw of the milk and purged in the smelter ' s glare. But there can be no more gold in the finished bul- lion than Nature placed in the ore Your acts and endeavors at M. S. M. have been t he ore. We have mined them and concentrated them. Much has been lost in the processes, hut at last as the crucible of 1917 slowly pours out its gleaming contents into the mold, we see the bar of metal with Rollamo 17 eternally stamped into the cast. If your yearbook is not truly valuable, then the samples were careless and the ore low grade. If. on the other hand, you really prize tire book, we are sincerely happy in the knowledge that the ore was “pay dirt and that our bumble efforts have not been in vain.

Professor Forbes has deserved the esteem of the student body of M + S. M., for although he is a Stern advocate of the midnight oil, his courses in mining are thorough and practical and consequently “ worth while,” Above all, he is a loyal supporter of school activities and whenever anyone needs advice or assistance, Professor Forbes office door is always open and a fellow student rather than a professor is inside ready and eager to do what he can.
