niolmaticn, Please . . . Ye who enter, leave all hope behind ... for never has there been such a yearbook, or will there ever be such a one again . , . originality (unkind people have called it something else) runs riot on most of the pages . . . before be- gining the perusal of this momentous volume, it is necessary to observe a few rules . . first, study the animated map of Delaware in detail ... get out your compass, and get your bear- ings . . . acquaint yourself with the high spots of the town . . . then observe the four parts into which the town is divided visions correspond to the four sections of the book ... by this time you will be pleasantly confused so we will throw out a hint . . . Division East embodies the main campus and includes all activities because once upon a time we thought there was going to be a Student Commons in these four di- this building . . . Division West includes the art and music departments and all women ' s ac- tivities . . . Division North is devoted to the Creeks — to their houses, members and activi- ties- and to dramatics and debate . . . Division South treats athletics, publications, and the astronomy department . , . never have editors been so free with poetic license, so fortify yourself . . . check your course by the buildings . sections are introduced by key views of buildings in which the activities take place . . . so pick your activity by its natural location, . . . (nine out ten times you ' ll be right) . . . use guide lines at the bottom of pages for sign posts . . . Wes and Ann personally conduct your tour . . . refer to map if lost . . . don ' t get sidetracked — that ' s what happened to the staff . . , short cuts pen- alized . . . skipping professors ' write-ups will make the journey unsatisfactory ... the year- book trip IS guaranteed to be educational — figuring out the titles will provide parlor games for you and your grandchildren for years to come ... all new solutions of these problems will be gratefully received ... in keeping with our editorial policy snap shots are not labeled — this gives you, dear reader, a chance to exercise your originality . . . and so with apologies to none and a road map for all we submit our interpretation of Wesleyan life as lived by the typical Wes and Ann, EDGAR HALL [12]
