1Hr12far12. 1 HE abilities of the class must heretofo1'e necessarily have had their bounda- ries Within the school walls. But now that we are going out of those Walls. We feel that, as we go, the eyes of the world arecuriously turned upon us and are questioning our capabilities. We mean THE GLEAM to be the answer, and therefore it is the result of our most strenuous efforts-it is the best of which We are capable. Nor is this its only aim. It is to be a memoir of our school days in later years, and is only another reason Why it should repre- sent our best efforts. Also, THE GLEAM is not without its ambitious motives. It has been our aim to make this paper show a decided step upward. We be- lieve this should be the aim of all succeeding GLEAMS. And We reluctantly admit that we have left room for many such steps. Just how well we have succeeded in this aim-just how many steps we have left unclimbed, we leave the reader to decide.
