The following manuscripts were recently unearthed near the remains of an ancient school building. Although the Cornerstone marked Swarthmore High School 1960, in which they were found, showed no outward signs of value, its contents were of obvious importance.

Despite the age-cracked pages, the material is being pub- lished in its original form.
