OME here a moment, son. Did you ask what this book is? If you could spare but five minutes of your time, I will endeavor to tell you . . . This book, the 1940 Yearbook, is a reproduction of some of the happiest moments of your lives, f- the time when you were training your brains, molding your characters, and learning how to live and what to live for. It is a reproduction of your days in school. Some day all of you, at some time or another, will wish to look back upon those glorious days to see your friends, soon to be scattered to the far corners of the earth: your teachers, who guided you patiently through your youth: and, finally, yourselves as you were in your boyhood. All of that will be a dim memory forty years from now. You will have only a hazy recollection of the instances in your youth that could make you eternally young again. Those moments of joy and gaiety will have passed into oblivion and will be lost forever. Therefore, we earnestly beg you to keep this little book. Treasure it as you would your life. Put it away where it will be safe. Today you are happy and gay. You will soon have passed a great milestone in your lives, -- a moment that you will never forget. But, the story behind that milestone will gradually dis- appear as you go onward, like the sun at twilight. And then, all will be dark. So, remember, friends, keep this book. To- morrow when you are depressed or dejected, bring it out again and dust it off. I assure you it will be more than worth the trouble.

His unruffled composure and unfailing good humor are admired by all his pupils, even by those who may at times have tested these qualities. His deliberate utterance and precise phrasing command the eager attention of all the members of his classes. No student in the classroom of this very human instructor could fail to absorb a large part of the knowledge which, in the interplay of minds of teacher and taught, he so inspiringly communi- cates to his pupils. I So, with gratitude and pride, we salute you - Mr. Frank McGrath.
