PROLOGUE. ‘ Ve who listen with credulity to the whispers of fancy, and pursue with eagerness the phantoms of hope; who expect that age will perform the promises of youth, and that deficiencies of the present day will be supplied by the morrow,” follow us for a moment in turning the pages of Yol. III. of Tin Ivcho. wherein are chronicled the events, incidents, and fabrications of fertile fancy of school life at k. S. , 1904. To give permanency to what we deem an appropriate name for our year book we have retained the title of the book issued in 1902. We feel that a year book is a commendable enterprise, and it is our earnest wish that hereaftci an annual may be published regularis bv our school The excellent vcai books that have preceded this one have raised waves ol influence that bear good things from our school and help to build up its fame. ow we seek to widen the circles of in tlucnce already set in motion, modestly daring to hope that out efforts may not be in vain. Originality in the sense of startling novelty is not claimed for all the features of our book. Our aim has been to bring forth a product that will be a true re flection of school life at K. S. X.. and to accomplish this aim we have laid members of the Faculty, students, and others under tribute to supply us with material and suggestions. If, by chance, some fiction creeps in with facts, you mav at tribute it to the fancy of some visionary wandering through out halls of learning. Perhaps it is well to remind you at the outset that “it is a part of probability that maiiv improbable things will happen.” and that some of the contents ol this volume would belter be taken cum ratio siiiv. 'Pile idea seems to be prev alent among editors of yearbooks that such books are more appreciated when made to perform the service of an oven, hence if yon are made the subject of a “roast,” do not raise a “stew.” With this brief introductory article we send forth Till-: IvCllo upon its mission, with the hope that it may in some measure contribute to the pleasure of all con nccled with our splendid old Normal Number One. And to those who pass from this institution of learning into the broad field of opportunities and realities of life mav Pm; Keiio ever be a message of inspiration to achieve all that a rational hope has pictured to the faithful and ambitious student. And when days have merged into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years; when in the evening of life we approach the sunset gates and 0111 record is nearing completion, whether that record be bright with success or gloomv with disappointments, mas each ol us as we turn these pages again see life through rose colored spectacles, as in the halcyon duss of 1904. 15
