FOR ALL IT WAS—AND IS It's all over but the shouting and you can do that now. As the logical successor to Lew Carlock’s Uncle Albie we might give you Grandpa Vanderhof of ‘You Can't Take It With You” fame, and he’d say what needs to be said something like this, Well, Sir, here we are again. We want to say thanks once more for everything You've done for us... We've all got our health and as far as anything else is concerned, we'll leave it to You. Thank YOu. However we decided to eliminate the family angle this year, excepting of course all of Mr. Hanby’s neices and nephews. On the opposite page is one of the best pictures we got this year. We’d like to have you think of this picture as being representative of the “Spirit of 41”, as opposed to that old classic “Spirit of 76 , or that equally classic, also ar- chaic, ‘Spirit of 02’ (Carlock to you F. O. B.). Somehow this picture catches better than might any words the real charm of all the things college should be and occasionally is. This year we decided that in spite of Helen Highwater this Sibyl would be a student publication from the word go. Well, if Helen ain't sore, we ain't. So in this space, which could be used to apologize for the poor quality of the book or to eulogize the already over-eulogized seniors, there are a few things that must be said. There are about twenty people who have worked in the “salt mines” in order that we could go to press (not to the cleaners)... MacLean, Hilde Kline and Marty Williams, who took care of those group campus pictures from posing to mounting . . . Ed Arndt’'s work on the division pages . . . Ruthanna’s water color of Dr. Howe on page 13 . . . Wells, who gave us the “dope” . . . Roose; the man with the dough . . . Green organizing one of those campus dragnets to get subscriptions . . . M.L. Healy, M. J. Brehm, Ruth Otsuki, Lois Arnold and everyone else whose picture graces the lower hali of page 94 as well as some others whose pictures are not on that page such as Jud Rinebold of the Gray Printing Co. ... . Bill Gadd and Don Moncrief of Canton Engraving Co. ; . . Bob Wilson of Kingskraft . . . and all the rest of you of the student body whose cooperation generally and good-natured cussedness occasionally made it, if not always easy, at least interesting. Sincerely, FRED LONG.

THE BUILDINGS our URTUNE The buildings of Otterbein are again pictured for the students to whom these stately structures are the hub of a nine month world. Tall trees form a graceful frame for the majestic towers of the ‘‘Ad” Building and also serve as a verdant veil for the gauche and homely Association Hall. The widely varying architecture seems to give each structure a distinct personality and charm. However, the true beauty and real charm can- not be reproduced on inanimate paper, it.is the way an Otterbein student feels when he sees the “towers” outlined against the evening sky.
