10 “THE CONNING TOWER” 1929 Foreword Believing that a Class Book should represent the sum total of school memories, we have tried to catch and incorporate in this, our class hook, some things that Memory all too often fails to hold. If, in future years, you find that anything herein written makes you say—“I remember—” we shall feel it has not failed in its purpose. If, we have captured something of the spirit of Plymouth which will accompany us on our careers, if in reading its pages, we can feel that here in the halls of our Alma Mater we gained our first impulse to noble and worthwhile things, that this is the beginning and not the end, then this book will have attained that for which we hoped. Tiie Editor.
