‘President s (Dessage How often do the faces of the Chinook look at you to recall busy days and more to do than it ever seemed possible to finish? How many times since leaving M. S. N. C. have you wished that you had as much leisure as was yours in 1926-1927? These questions are proposed as of 1940. I hope that in such now far-off time, when you find this beautiful and worthy Chinook on a high or low shelf, it will remind you of pleasant days, of days well spent, of loyal companions and of teachers who like to be remembered because they cannot forget you. Now is your best year; may every one which follows be few of life’s grade points better. —Sheldon E. ‘Davis

{(ChSnooh)) £?he Dean’s CDessage A Chinook, according to the dictionary, is a warm and gentle wind that blows down the east slope of the Rocky mountains. It comes suddenly in midwinter like a summer breeze melting the snow and thawing the ice-bound streams in a few hours, thus giving to the inhabitants of the northwest respite from the rigors of a too-long winter. So in days to come when time has drifted the snow of years upon your heads and the ice of experience has hardened your hearts, you will happen upon this old 1927 “Chinook. True to its name it will act like a warm and gentle wind and thaw your frozen memories into recalling the happy times, the real and near adventures, the dear old friends at M. S .N. C. —Angeline Smith
