IL J? r t lu o r !t OUR BOOK ! The only book of which most of us will be a part, and the motive and origin of the custom of thus preserving the memories of school days is readily apparent when we reflect on their meaning to us. These days of preparation for our life work, the opportunity to choose and assimilate our heritage of knowledge and power, mingled with experiences and associations no future ones can transcend ; our kindred aims, hopes and tasks are such as will never come into our lives again. Parting will bring scattered roads, diverse aims and lives, and we especially this year are going out into a world mightily changed since we came here to school. We must be prepared to lay our hands on the tasks that will emerge frcini the chaos and to do so demands that we give our attention to the immediate tasks. Tho volumes of history are being enacted in Europe, this our history concerns us now, for it is the stepping stone to our future. This gathering of impressions of our classnuites by those who know them best allows all of us to know each one more intinuitely than our busy days here allow ; the lesser things of study and surroundings form a background whose only potency is the use we have made of them, which we will realize in later years should we re- liirn aiul see strange faces moving among them. Balanced between our inexperience on the one hand and our gratitude to the members of the class on the other, we have ruminated and cogitated thru the vanished days and their doings, and if the pleasure of perusal is half so keen as that of recording them we shall be amply rewarded for (uir labor of love.
