S lessage ERE are the faces of those we have known for four years ra) of youth. Here are pictures of the places where we have lived, here are the names and the teams, the casts and scenes. Here is the history which may perhaps prove poor prophecy, for life turns out otherwise than expected. Under what strange skies shall we open this volume in the future? I charge you to look it over in June, 1942 and in June, 1952 and ... how many of us shall keep that tryst and open it in 1992? See that group of, shall we say, three ancient dames pouring over it together at the turn of the century in 2000, all that is left of the class of 1932! What will the world be like then? What will Wheaton be like then? Why, Kil- ham Hall will not be nearly as old then as Mary Lyon Hall is now. Wheaton will be young, and if we keep on learning and wondering and asking questions and looking forward we shall all be still young, whether here or on Mars. And the class of 1932 will be met somewhere, all but, shall we say, three, who are expected any time, and be saying, “Well, perhaps our grandchildren have sold our NIKES by now to the junkman, but what matter, we remember, we remember Wheaton!” Yours as ever, Pie. Pate.
