Sux SONG OF THE WEST I sing a song of western lands; Of western seas, and western skies; Of purple misted mountain tops, And broad green valleys poppy sown. I sing a song of happiness; Of new-born love of-freedom wild; For here in these far-western hills, Gold-crowned in frames of azurite, I found my leisure free to roam Along the rims of fields of grain. My song is tuned to western hills; To poppy, oak and lupine blue; To purple waters studded with The lace-like foam of unborn mists. —Robinson McKee.

FOREWORD Many grains of sand have passed through the aperture of the hour glass, and we have come now to the end of a school year. The days, each with its own story of defeat or triumph, have gone. Time dims the colors of the past; the memories which are vived and glowing today become vague and indistinct as the years advance. It 1s then that we treasure a permanent reminder of past events. No better record of school days can be found than the Yearbook, which is a history made real by pictures. In this Yearbook, it has been our purpose to present a panorama of the last year, by following as closely as possible the course of the school’s activities, and to make a book which will preserve forever the associa- tions of this one bricf year of school life.
