A yearbook foreword . . . rarely original. . . rarely interesting. . . rarely good copy. Nevertheless, a foreword allows an editor to ere press the blackest sentiments and the wildest hopes of his vagrant mind. Necessary, you ask ? J doubt it. No more necessary than the pictures we've spoiled... the copy we’ve filed in the universal file . . . the days the job looked hopeless.
