ULV 7940 amma A full half century has passed since the painters, musicians, and poets of the Impressionist school dared to express their own thought and feeling through the medium of art. Their masterpieces have survived the scorn of their contemporaries and the indifference of their successors, to claim in the twentieth century their just due of appreciation and understanding from a circumspect world. Taking note then, of the present popularity of Renoir, Monet, and Degas, 0f Debussy, Faure, and diIndy, and 0f the poet Paul Verlaine, now joy- fully accepted as our own, we, the graduating class of 1940, have chosen their theme for ours. We present in this, our yearbook, 14mm, the gateway to our impressions of four beautiful, fleeting years. We feel that in no better way could we capture and imprison their happi- ness and heartache, their sweetnesses and sorrows. This is not a mere record of our activitieseit is the private journal of each member of our class. Herein are contained our personal reactions to events, to people, and to places, and the sentiments and emotions they have evoked and Will evoke for us, to whom they are so dear.
