CONTENTS FOREWORD Man, all through the ages, has attempt- ed to preserve accounts of his manner of living. ln the Stone Age, he crudely carv- ed images of skin-clad men and ugly- looking animals on the walls of his cave home. The American Indian roughly ap- pliqued on his skin tepee designs depict- ing his mode of life. Later, as civilization advanced, man elaborately drew and oil- painfed on canvas his history, customs, and costumes. The modern method of re- cordance is by photography. By it, we record the present manner in which we humans' act. The purpose of this never- ending chain of preservation. one is led to believe, is to hand down from genera- tion to generation, from reminiscent fa- ther to slightly skeptical son, a picture of the Way things were done in the good old days, for man is a self-centered crea- ture. And so it is by photography that We continue this age-old custom. We, how- ever, have supplemented this art with written accounts, which will enlarge the appeal of our yearbook and help it better to fulfill its purpose. We also hope to acquaint the outsider, who may read this volume. with our activities as well as to produce a memoir for the pupil who has passed the year within our walls. It is thus that we have complied with history and compiled this yearbook, and now, with inmost satisfaction and utter confidence, we present it, for what it is worth, to you. ..l.1-1.11 1.
