FOREWORD From the beginning of time, cherished memories have played a vital part as a bond between the present and the past. Far back into the age when Alexandria was at the peak of its glory as a seat of learning, scholars committed their records and discoveries to manuscripts of papyrus. They did not entrust them to memory; for capricious memory is like the receding of a vessel into a mist, dis- appearing little by little until it is but a weird hallucina- tion. And so it is with us. Five joyful and fruitful years have we spent together, enjoying the friendship and com- radeship of our classmates and teachers. Now the portal of our high school life is about to close behind us. Each must now follow a separate and devious path. Shall we allow the memory of the.se joyful year’s to pass into oblivion? Certainly not! The memory of our youth, the golden axis of life’s great sphere is far too precious. Accordingly, we have published The Meta. We do not hope that our year book will be a literary masterpiece. It is simply a memoir of our high school life, the sole purpose of which is to aid the mind in recall- ing the cherished features of our classmates and friends, and the incidents of our school life. We probably do not appreciate it now, but in years to come, it will give us great pleasure to glance through its pages and relive, in our minds, those dear old high school days — days full of love and bliss. Sincerely hoping that it will meet with your expectations, we submit for your approval, class- mates, The Meta of 1927.
