FOREWORD AGES before the first oil derrick stood silhouetted against the gray of the sand dunes, prehi'storic animals battled in the desert, and prehistoric fish swam in the great inland sea where Taf t now stands. It i's out of this past that our world of today comes. In this brief record of school life we have tried to show some- thing of the background which has determined our present-day civilization as well as to make a history of the past year. In the four chapters of school life which follow we attempt to show THE SCHOOL itself, its faculty and students, the manifold ACTIVI- TIES that make up our student lifeg the SPORTS, that measure athletic prowess, and the JUNIOR COLLEGE, that opens the door- way to higher learning.

DEDICATION O those who have run the race of life before us, we dedicate this hook. Our world of today shows the imprint of their eager feet, as they passed, striving, struggling, sometimes failing, oftener conquering, in the long, slow progress of the ages. We, too, must follow on the worn, scarred road which they have trod. And, whether we go down in the dust of oblivion or reach the heights of fame, the marks of our passing will be left, unalterably determining the course of the future.
