Zirebication FAREVVELL. When we're scattered and parted and broken And our class but a memory lies, Then haply we'll glance at this token, Knit strongly by friendshipys glad ties. And a gladness, a joy, will come o'er us, A feeling of sorrow may be And of nien1'ries, half dimmed, will a chorus Sweep o'er us like waves of the sea. By the Future we may be forsaken -Dread mystery sealed to our eyes- Yet the Past from us ne'er can be taken For a mem'ry so joyous neler dies. So farewell to you, Comrades and Brothers. Farewell to thee, Class of our heart, Until Death in oblivion covers, Thy mem'ry will ne'er from us part. WINSTON T. TOWNSEND

llbreface HE Class of Ninety-seven being the first in the history of the school to publish a Class Book, the work of editing fi A557 and publishing it has necessarily been tremendous. As 'Q ' we have had no model from previous classes to build c upon, our work has been largely experimental, and we have been somewhat obliged to fall back upon the stereotyped form of class book publication. We have also been hampered by the refusal of many of the fellows to answer the statistical questions, as some- how they appeared to be afraid that their answers would be used for mercenary purposes. However, we have endeavored to make this book the best possible, and we trust that any small deficiencies will be overlooked in view of our inexperience. Following the usual custom, the histories of the four years and the different phases of school life, have been written by those who have been prominently connected with them. The design of the class window, used as a frontispiece, was furnished by Flagg, Warnock 8A Co., of Boston, the makers of the window. To all who have in any way assisted us we render our hearty thanks. A THE EDITORS. june, 1897. ,.,.,. V .
