There are many outstanding friendships of history, some of which were the di- rect cause of changing the course and destiny of nations- The Friend- ship of one for another has often resulted in the supreme sacrifice as il- lustrated by the Bib- lical verse, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Our friends some sharing on our part. It is a and the depth of their ||9v mutual understanding of give feeling for us is limit- and take. Some of the finest of ed only by our capacity JP friendships in the world are for friendship. It must being f o r m e d on our college always be merited; it campuses today. A more whole- never comes without some relationship exists between students, and students and faculty, than ever before. This is particularly true of our own campus. Throughout its myriads of activities we play and work together, dream, build castles and plan for our lives ahead. With others we share these experiences, and the degree of which is determined by the depths of our own friendships. And so when one of the greatest thing in college life is friendship, we feel it is only fitting and proper to give recognition to it. It is used, therefore, as the theme for this book. A few pages back you saw a picture of “Prexy” in his office exemplifying this thing of « which we are talking.

Throughout this volume, the aim has been to picture all of those who have spent the year here; to record those who are and who have friends; to show in a small measure at least, actual pictures of events and oceassions where friend- ship has been strikingly paramount. Sally and Bob leave Wideroad and come to college. Old friends, manners and customs are left behind. A new life opens and adjustments must be made. Perhaps their first official contact with the college is Annual Freshman Day. Here, to their somewhat bewildered minds, are unfolded some of the intracacies of college life. It is a new world opening to them, full of hope and anticipation. The beginnings of new’ friendships are born, kindred spirits find much in common and then, September 13, Enrollment Day. A maze of tables, cards, schedules, long lines of people and the incessant hum of busy voices. Then evening. Well that’s that. Tomorrow the fun begins. It did! The next is a saunter to the football field. Bump, thud, c-r-unch! That’s hard work for sweltering September days. But it was all worth while— sez you—for the boys in gold shocked the Shockers 14-0. The next day Sally and Bob do a little “looking-down-on” themselves.
