HI ll ul ll foreword Never apologize, said the Didactic Alumnus, as he helped himself to the editors last pill. Your friends won't require it and your enemies won't caref, That was our first thought, but somehow we came to thinking deeper and, to speak truly, less cheerfully, when we realized that this is our last work, our last task, our last contribution to the school which is so dear to us-to our school, so there is much more to be said. Time silently and imperceptibly steals away, with the passing years, many of the impressions formed at school. lt slowly erodes the firm foundation of our school remembrances, until only a few old friendships remain as a monument to the associations which once filled entire lives. Knowledge acquired in the class- room can be recalled in later years from various sources, but the spirit, faith, and achievement which are experienced at school are not perpetuated by notes on text books. The Class of 1925 offers the Saga with the sincere hope that it will keep fresh and green the old associations, and that it will serve to record in a per- manent way for the class, and friends of the Class, the story of the past four years. 4
