V All the world ' s a stage; And all the men and tvomcn only players. In a theatre of classical beauty on Shorter Hill the Class of ' 28 is enacting the drama of Life. Ahead of the players is Act III, which holds for us we know not what amount of success, of failure, of laughter, of heartbreak. Act II is finished. The action is complete and unalterable. Our faces are turned toward the future. But let us pause here to grasp a little more tightly those cruel lessons of experience, those invaluable memories of the past. It is to recall the clasp of an encouraging hand, the gay irresponsibility of youth, the deep understanding of friendship that this volume has been printed. And if, in days to come, some dark path is brightened by this brief review of our college life, our mission is fulfilled. We shall feel that we have, in a measure, repaid the great debt we owe our fellow players. PROLOGUE

THE SHORTER GIRL ' S CREED I believe in girls, in the women of the great tomorrow, and that whatsoever the girl soweth, the woman shall reap. I believe in the curse of ignorance, in the dignity of learning, and the joy of serving others. I believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as in the pages of printed books; in lessons taught not so much by precept as by ex- ample, in ability to work with the hands as well as to think with the head, in everything that makes life large and lovely. I believe in beauty in the home, in the class- room, in the workroom, and in the influence of God ' s great out-of-doors. I believe in laughter, in love, in faith, in all distant hopes that lure us on. I believe in the present and its opportunities, in the future and its obligations, and in the divine joy of living, here and hereafter.
