Repressing our chronic modesty for the time being, we of the editorial staff of the Promethean proclaim the year 1946-1947 a success. The job of editor of the Promethean proved at times a task of tremendous magnitude, however, thanks to the hard working business and editorial staffs, wc shared the wee hours of the morning amid masses of manuscripts and drawings as they inviegled figures, tabulation sheets, and financial reports. With the admission of some exaggeration, we say that wc loved fighting each other in staff meetings, pulling out hair, separating arms, trying innova- tions that even the high heavens could not perform. All of this we did for your yearbook. You were our seniors, not just an ordinary run of students, and we loved you—every mother’s child. If it is at all possible that the material lying between these pages will serve in any way to keep remnants of your college days alive in your memory, then the project here undertaken will have been worthwhile.

HAIL AND FAREWELL TO THE CLASS OF 1947 As you arc graduated from this college, you arc entering a far different world from the one that existed when you entered four years ago. Then the world was definitely at war. Today it is presumably at peace, but whether the peace will be real and lasting will depend largely upon what is thought and done by the young people who arc leaving our colleges today. They tell us that civilization cannot survive another world war. To avoid universal disaster every graduate of every college on earth must dedicate himself to the establishment of good will and brotherhood among the people of the world. Beside this great commitment even the task of making a living is comparatively un- important because at the end of an atomic war there will be little worth living for. However, there is no need for your young hearts to be discouraged. Since a world of decency and goodwill consists of people who are decent and benevolent, your individual task is to do your part and to encourage your neighbors to do theirs. We send you forth, then, with our blessings into the brave new world with your heads held high and with your spirits unafraid. n. O. W. Holwks
