Seattle College Annual Page nine iteniuirfr rHE purpose of this book is not simply to offer to the public a collection of the best literary productions of the Seattle College students as its title might indicate but also to awaken and develop in the students of the past as well as those of the present a good spirit of fellowship and a more active interest in the growth of their Alma Mater. Ours is still a small institution, and before it can boast of larger buildings with a larger attendance in the number of its students, there may be many a tangle to be torn through. It was not for the lack of enthusiasm on the part of those devoted men who have guided the destinies of Seattle College that the institution is still struggling to emerge from its humble beginnings. That it should rise triumphant from these difficulties is certainly the sincere hope of every true and loyal student: and if an arduous task be the test of future greatness we may fondly entertain the hope for the realization of a greater Seattle College. In the meantime it should be the ambition of every one of us who have watched the enduring struggle of our Alma Mater to promote a greater loyalty and to pledge our faith and love to her. IVe may say with IVebster, “ is indeed a small college, yet there are those who love it.” May the present issue of the Palestra foster then that genuine spirit of fellowship which is after all the best asset in the successful development and permanent maintenance of all institutions.

Seattle College Annual Page eleven RAYMOND L. BEEZER IT is not simply alphabetically that we introduce “Ray” as the leader of these sketches. He bears the reputation of having led his class ever since he came to Seattle College in the fall of 1911. Ray saw the light of day on September 2d, 1897, in the little town of Altoona, Pa. From the time he entered Seattle College it has been the pleasure of his classmates to emulate his tenacity of purpose in his studies for the Bachelor’s degree. No subject was too intricate for him, not even Calculus, the terror of every Senior, and rumor has it that he felt inclined to seek out his professor who is now lecturing on Hebrew and pay him a high fee for a few private lessons in the Yiddish tongue. Quiet, unassuming, studious, never contented until he has found some difficult question for reflection and deep research. In spite of all this contemplative mood Ray has never neglected to take an active part in all the various class and college activities. He has succeeded so well on the diamond that he was chosen captain of the 1917 team. For two years he has been a staunch supporter of the Glee Club. We may say in fact that anything he undertakes he does well. From what we know of the President of the Class '17 we may predict a brilliant career for him. His constancy and perseverance has brought success to him during the years he spent at Seattle College and we have no doubt that these great qualities will spell success for Ray’s future.
