FOREWORD Deriving the ranger idea from the sobriquet, the cowboys, as used by the sportswriters in describing our strug- gling, straining gridiron warriors, and from the connotation of the name of our annuals—the West-O-Ranger—we have chosen as the theme of our 1938 Year Book the glamorous West with its barren deserts and lush farm lands; its dusty plains and dank forests; its highest peak and lowest valley; its glar- ing, yellow sunlight, and soft purple shadows; its gentle broncos and its bucking flivers. Just as the galloping hoofs, the popping six” guns, the wild whoops, the multicolored blankets, the red earthen pottery, the ten gallon” hats, all are memories of the lost and legendary land of the Forty-niners,” so this annual is a memory of our school life, a true reflection of the students and their activities. scv °°v

IN MEMORIAM HARRY A. GRETTON whose glorious mind on high? in hearts we leave behind die! —Campbell If I had thought thou could’st have died, I might not weep for thee; But I forgot, when by thy side, That thou could’st mortal be; It never through my mind had passed, That time would e’er be o’er When I on thee should look my last, And thou should’st smile no more! —Charles Wolfe Page Six
