May 15, 1945 Dear Reader: Perhaps the saddest and yet the sunniest moments in our lives are those we spend with memory. Old familiar melodies sweep us back to the land of ' time gone by. 1 It must have been a philosopher who said, Man's greatest treasure his memory: in nothing else is he rich,' in nothing else is he poor. Each day of our life is rich in living, but after it is spent, there is nothing save a few souvenirs, some precious memo- ries. Because this is true, and because we realize that our college days are among our happiest days, we have made this annual a Memory Book. As this grew into a Memory Book, we would have liked to express clearly and truly the many thoughts that passed through each girlls mind as she lived her college days. As our year's store of experiences became broader and deeper, we often wished that we could capture every bit of the wonder and delight of it and tie it up in a beautiful box. Since the only way any of us can capture things we want to hold is in our memory, we sincerely hope that our Memory Book will be such a package. No doubt, there are many personal ex- periences that affected each Willie differently, but we can never hope to preserve these personal memories here. Our intent is to capture certain impressions and arrest certain moments in our college year that will lead the individual girl to reveries all her own. We hope our Memory Book will be a link with the pastland will bring each one again into the fellowship of Willies every.where. ' Our memories of 1944 and 1945 have been dynamic and heart-warming. All of us believe that our col- lege days are our happiest days. Because this time of joy comes but once to each of us, and because William Woods has made our dreams come true, we dedicate this book to our Alma Mater. The Editor Pg8
