Foreword T ie Iris is the special endeavor of the Senior Class of Central State Teachers College. In it are recorded the events, changes, and achievements of the year: it is the purpose of this book to recall pleasant memories as well and to attempt to do this as originally as possible. '‘Originality'’ has been our basic idea, our keynote.” The time and effort spent in preparing the iris and the thought given it can only be realized by those who have worked with the Editor and the Business Manager in its production. The dedication to an ideal is especially fitting this year because the aim has been to make the book as nearly ideal as possible. We present the result to you with no little pride and satisfaction.

Dedication An ideal, that faultless standard of excellence existing in the imagination only, plays an important part in our lives. Life would be drab and worthless if we no longer had an ideal or no longer strove to attain perfection in our intellectual and material undertakings. This desire gives worthiness and pleasure to our existence. It is an incentive for life itself. The wish for the ideal has been the force underlying all changes in the world. It will carry us on toward a perfection now inconceivable to even the most imaginative mind. Since this archetype is so strongly influential, especially for those connected with educational institutions, the Senior Class of 1932 dedicates the iris to that ideal.
