HBH DUNS RUSS MMD IRESS Dreams-not idle, meaningless ones-but dreams of a pur- poseful nature have always played the initial part in any worth- while project. The architect visualizes his brainchild long before the blue prints are drawn and before the first marker is placed. His imaginative mind traces the outline of the finished structure. His plans are formulated, not in the drawing room or office, but in that mysterious organ called the brain. Several years ago we sensed the first pangs of dissatisfac- tion. They have increased throughout the years. We realized that our buildings and our athletic equipment were no longer comparable with those of similar schools. Today our task is ended. The visionary image that We created as an offspring of that dissatisfaction is at last a reality. We see now a fine, sturdy structure-excelling in beauty-unsurpassed in gym- nastic implements, necessary to the building of strong bodies. Full Well do We realize that our class will not enjoy the fruits of this progress, but to us comes the satisfaction of seeing our oncoming generation provided for. Thus do yesterdays dreams come true. Only by reviewing the past and comparing it with the present can We judge in a prophetic manner what the building of tomorrow shall bring forth. We leave this to the next dreamersefthe next visualizers. We have faith in them, an ancient faith, that tomorrow's dreams will come true, and through their building that they will mark progress.

The latter that evasive something that men have spent eons ot time attempting to complete. Day by day we pay tribute to magnificent architectural triumphs, each one surpassing the other in pomp and per- fection. Such will be our new gymnasium and auditorium. But the building of mind towers over that of matter tar beyond our poor powers of observation. We must fit the panels of our intellect with micrometer accuracy, and fol- low as our blueprints the recorded thoughts, that have been given us by the wisdom of the ages. It is to this progress, namely Construction that we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-nine dedicate this Mirror Clara Alice Osborn Page 4
