PIIESEIIIIIT HIS yearbook is ahre with the spirit of the youth which created it. We have set ourselves down as we are, now, at the time of our leaving Newtown. It is all too possible that in the years to come we will look over this portrayal of ourselves as we were in Newtown and be amused or even inclined to look at our former selves with cynicism. There is only one thing we wish to say here. That is, that we appear here in our true colors. The picture has not been retouched. And because we are portrayed here naturally instead of artihcially, we ask ourselves of the future to look with understanding and friendliness at the p0l'fl'Llylll. We ask our future selves to avoid the amused look and the tolerant smile of the grown-up looking back at this younger day. They say that there will be a day when we will look back at these years of our youth with longing fondness. But there will be, we fear, an interval between the youth and that advanced stage when we will consider the accomplishments and even the ideals of our youth to be trivial and insignificant. Perhaps, compared to the doings of a later day, our present actions are trivial. But the fact remains that we are acting with sincerity. To us, now, these ideals and achievements are all importantg just as important to us as anything that we will do in the future. XVe hope that this does not seem like a foolishly sentimental appeal for an unimportant end. Wfe firmly desire that this yearbook, the effort of our youth, will serve as a record of fond memories and not one of memories which provoke amusement. XX'e want this yearbook to be the connecting chain with our youth when we have outgrown that youth. XVe want to remind ourselves in the future that even when we were not full of the wisdom of age we had ideals and purposes. XVe think that this quotation sums up everything we wish to say: Hold fast to the spirit of youth, let years to come bring what they may. LAxvRliNc11i OiNl2Il,l,
