sry' W lf l p. K , fi' I , 'i . 1- li - fs 'pt 4, Q5 POD? Che CLASS OF 195 6 '1937 I-IEN informed that we, the Eds, must proceed to waft our prolific pens over the parchment and create out of the eternal nothingness of ether, a fore-word for our beloved book, we nodded our already laden heads in the spontaneous but superHuous spirit of the Everlasting Yea CCarlyle, we are toldj, not realizing that upon our tender years we were taking a burden which is borne but once in the life of any man, It is written in medical jour- nals that no man, woman, or child is ever the same after giving of himself to such an accomplishment. Still, we vainly waved our quills in series after series of convoluted circles interspersed with the nicest collection of curves and figure eights that the most artistic heart could desire. Yet, as we sat feverishly challenging the power and veracity of Black Magic, waves of fatal foolishness flooded over and en- gulfed us, as we became cognisant of the ludicrousness and facetiousness of the situation. Imagine telling you that this was the Beehive, and the subject of your glance was its fore-word. One would hardly expect to find the fore- word of the Beehive in Harpers Bazaar or Colliers, Still we had no results from our pen waving, We had but one tangible and concrete thing to do. We must convey our sincere thanks to the Art and Commercial Departments for the indispensable aid lent us by them in this work. The Beehive would not have been in your outstretched hands for many moons hence, had it not been for their zealous efforts. We also especially cite for honor and thanks, Mr. Sallee's private secretary, Miss Elsie Lotz. She was faithful, agreeable, and efficient, Whirling and twirling continues as we continue our attempts at conjuring, It seems that it is easier to pull rabbits out of hats than fore-words Cnot four wordsj out of the air. Getting down to brass tacksn it looks as if we must go to work. But it is too late to tell you, we know not where to begin. It also follows that it would be dangerous to tell you we know not where to stop. Taking what we hope was not your last broad smile as a hint, we present you the 1937 model mirror. Take a look at yourselves. Page 5
