Foreword NCE upon a time, there was a little girl who was carried by a cyclone into the strange Land of Oz. In her efforts to get back home, she encountered the Witch of the North-one of the good witches of Oz, who advised her to journey to the Emerald City, where she would find the Wizard of Oz--a man of extraordinary knowledge and power, On her way, the girl was joined by several queer companions-a lion who sought cour- age, a Scarecrow who wanted some brains. and a tin woodman who wanted a heart. Af- ter many strange adventures, they reached the Emerald City, only to find that the Wizard was an imposter who did not have the re- ported power to grant their desires. Tired of a life of pretense, the Wizard departed in a balloon after arranging to turn his kingdoms over to his visitors. The girl, with the aid of another of the good witches of Oz, finally returned safely to her home. The significance of the art work in our 1931 Viking is to be found in this story of the Wizard of Cz. Each drawing not only represents some phase of the tale, but also symbolizes the activities of the students and the work of the administration. 4 1
