.Ente Cenfenn ia! ffiger 1838- IQ38 SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' MONUMENT Standing in the Court llouse Square is the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, symbolic of the loyalty of the citizens ol Princeton to their country. 4 The tourist coming into Princeton from nearly every direction finds himself confronted with streets where the arched branches of the stately elms make a woodland path out of a city street. Of these streets Elm Place has first honors for here the arches are more perfect and give pleasant re- lief to the tired tourist. At the opposite end of town Park Avenue West greets the traveler from the west. Perhaps not as lovely as Elm Place yet it bids fair for favorable comments from the passing stranger. Coming from the east one enters Princeton on East Peru Street and here too finds a shady street with lovely trees to welcome him. One hundred years ago many of these trees were not yet planted or were dwarfs in contrast to their present growth. The early settlers coming from New England towns or other sections of the east planted these trees. Both men and women worked to beautify the little village of those days. Today we reap the benefit of their labors. May our con- tribution to the city on one hundred years hence be as meaningful as theirs has been to us, DEDICATIQN HROUGHOUT the history of any community will be found two groups of loyal citizens. The first is a smaller energetic group who actually give their time to the carrying on of the government and its associated projects. They are well known, their names are frequently in the papers, and their names go down in historical records, The other group is larger. They go quietly about their work from day to day. Their names do not make news yet they contribute much to the stand- ards of the life of the community. Theirs is a quiet pursuance of the task at hand, a weaving into the pattern of community life a design of honest toil, high concepts of duty and civic righteousness, steadfast loyalty to the best interests of the citizenry. Both groups are necessary and desirable. To all those who in the first century of Princetons history, have given such leadership to make our present community, we the class of N238 dedicate this edition of the Tiger. lflm Street Park Avenue XX'est Fast Peru Street
