The Recording . . . Your Year at Park The idea of any yearbook is the recording in preservable form of the external substance of the life and spirit of that school year. We who call ourselves the Park College family are in varying de¬ grees the products of certain impressions. Our personal growth has been marked by the several phases of life at Park—by its warm friend¬ liness and its informality, by its struggle for progress both personal and institutional, by its unfailing challenge to the sincerity of its people. For each characteristic there is a groove cut in our individual natures. In a similar way the Narva has recorded the impressions marked out by you. With this purpose we brought forth in November the po¬ tential Narva, and on a blank disc attempted to wax those surface evi¬ dences of personality, activity, and system which are the record of your year. You, then, have shared our responsibility as recording artists. You are today the critic who interprets the work. Limited only by our selection of the tones, you may individually determine whether the platter revolves in meaningless noisy circles or whether it emerges with a theme. And so it is to you that we dedicate the record. Here it is, the 1947 Narva—yours with the hope that it may be played back with increasing pleasure through the years.
