Editorial j IIE Class of ’99 lias always held a high ideal of what Juniors should be. From the days when we entered Denver University as gay and verdant Freshmen, our efforts have been covered with success. We have ranked first in the class room, and we have been victors in some of the less dignified contests of college life. An unusual amount of class and college spirit characterized us during our first two years in the halls of Denver University, and when at last we were really Juniors—the envy of all other classes—we determined to add yet greater glory to our class annals by the publication of a college year-book. In publishing Kynkwisbok, Volume One, we are following the example of the Class of ’96. Since Mount Olympus” was published, Denver University has had no college annual. The need was seen by the Class of '99, and with courage and determination we assumed the responsibility. The work of an editor is by no means a sinecure; a great amount of labor and time has been expended in bringing into its present form this history of one year’s life at Denver University. We do not claim for our book a great deal of originality, nor do we claim its right to be ranked among the immortal works of literature, for we believe, rather, that the purpose of an annual is to keep fresh in the minds of the students the happier, brighter and lighter side of their life at college. If in alter years, when life is proving to be real and earnest, when one has almost forgotten that there ever were happy, care-free college days—if then you take from its place on the shelf the dusty, timeworn copy of Kynkwisbok, and for a time, as you recall old days and old associates, your hearts are lighter and cares are less crushing, the Class of ’99 will feel that the true mission of Kynkwisbok, Volume One, has been accomplished. As we have followed the precedent of ’96, may the Junior Classes of the future look upon the example of the Class ot ’99 as one worthy of emulation.
