Foreword From rosy-hued, fanciful youth to the sombre dusk of Age, the transition is indeed brief and fleeting. Hardly have we tossed aside the last remnant of a happy child hood ere we begin to seek our slippers and easy chair, and feel life s Indian Summer slowly slipping on. Life has been a heated spurt, and a glorious one and now our legs totter, our eyes lose their sparkle, and we know that the race has been spent. Our busy productive years have winged their way and a quiet sense of satis- faction comes over us for we know that with them went the best of our efforts and the torch was held high. So never a semblance of vain regret steals into our minds as in the soft twilight we sit in our easy chair m the hbrary. watching the flaming sun sink behind the tall cypress trees. But dreamy Reminiscence steals near us and unveils a never-ending panorama of lovely thoughts of joys long past when Hebe, golden goddess of youth filled our days with the transient, but true, sheen of young happiness. And soon gentle night spreads her soft sable robe over us and from afar The sweet strains of a simple lyric are borne to our ears and charm us with their lilting and inspiring melody. Ac length, care-allaying Morpheus gathers in his arms our weary bodies, and into our placid minds steal dreams of high school days.
