Foreword |N THE olden days prehistoric man, after much hard work with his chisel and crude hammer, inscribed records and drew pictures on the walls of the cave which served as his home. Just so have we inscribed records and placed pictures of our activities and friends oi our high school days on the walls of our “House of Memories. ' ’ Now our house is finished. Insert the key in the lock, open the door, and with us enter into our rooms, which are filled with rare treas- ures, the memories of the greatest events of our lives. Spend with us “sessions of sweet silent thought,’’ as “we summon up remembrance of things past,’’ for ’Tis in our House of Memories we’ll find Sure peace and happiness through years gone by In tales of high school days that bring to mind The thoughts of lessons then that made us sigh. But may we smile when we have known real care, And say, “It’s sweet recalling what was hard to bear.’’ 5
