But one day, in the not too distant future, our ever-changing language will be required to devise another expression to take its place, as reaching for a star will have joined the ranks of the obsolete, along with zounds and forsooth. Even now, mighty rockets are beginning to puncture our at- mospheric veil and probe into the infinite blackness beyond. And one day soon, though perhaps none of us will see it, man will reach for a star-and touch it. Who will the pioneers of this infinite and eternal frontier be? If not our generation, then the next, or the next. But one thing is assured, the generation of today, the students of Morton Iunior College, will do their bit in making it happen, even as the last did, for man pushes into the future by building on the past. To the student of today, who will make it possible for his grandson or his great-grandson to touch a star, this book is dedicated. dminiotration . . . . . . . 6 Student Toaly. . . 16 Q4 .. ...... ..56 ctivitieo oathletico ......... . . 80
