The year book is but a small part of all your pages of recollection.

You will heur again the Chapel bell and recall from your four years some personal triumphs, and possibly some failures, but all together merging into an unforgettable and invaluable portion of the past called UMy College Years.U x ,fkfv 'V , S. f' 7

For the past three years, Saint Lawrence has been undergoing growing painsu . . . The GRIDIRON, too, has been feeling the results of this growing up. In- stead of a small group of five or six hundred students, we must cover the lives and activities of nearly thirteen hundred students . . . that is a job in any 1nan's lan- guage. And it is a job for many, because the GRI D- IRON is the yearbook OF the student body as well as FOB the student body. Although the GRIDIRON is traditionally a gift of the Junior Class to the Graduating Class, it is intended to be a chronology of the year's events . . . scholastic, social, athletic . . . which will Hnd a welcome place on every student's bookshelf. We have tried faithfully to carry out these aims .... Perhaps we have made mistakes in our zeal and haste to complete our task within this college year, but, by our efforts, we hope that future GRIDIRONS will find new incentive toward higher goals. Our problems have been many . . . we only hope that we have solved them one by one until the end product meets your approval. 6
