Muhlenberg College - Ciarla Yearbook (Allentown, PA)

Page 15 text:

Preface. « ts T HE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED upon attaining the dignity of Juniors also assumed the burdensome task of publishing The Ciarea. This task is now completed. Of each year’s Ciarla Board there is expected something better and more pleasing than the product of its predecessors. We have always been recognized as being original, and it is with much pride that we present to our College friends this year’s annual. We assure you that we are not radically different from our predecessors. The usual space and mention has been given to the various classes, fraternities, literary societies, musical associations, and general athletics, which makes The Ciakla valuable as a book of reference. We have diverted, however, from certain lines at our own risk. A rather bold step has been taken by us in changing the shape of this annual, which we trust will be to the advantage of the reader. During the past year a few clubs and organizations have made their appearance. Due mention is given to these in order that the reader may have a clearer knowledge of College life. It is the idea of the editors that this annual shall contain nothing that is unwholesome and untruthful. In looking over these pages the reader will notice that such has been fully carried out, in order that a first-class college annual may be produced. Whether we have succeeded or not we leave to 3mur decision. We lay down our pens with a feeling of regret, for in the preparation of this annual we have spent many pleasant hours. Therefore, with due gratitude to the contributors of the different classes who so amiably helped us in its production, we now, in the name of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and our Alma Mater , launch this frail bark upon the sea of literature with the hope that it will find a safe haven in the hearts of its readers. 9
