Aloha - Hoover Library

prt~~~t.IINpublishing this volume it is our purpose to set forth 111 a brief, interestingway the various departments of the College; to get together a collection ofpictures that will be of interest to all friends of the College; to collect all thefun that is possible; to strike the strikes and the would-be strikers as weli;to tell of athletics, music and art; of how a boy fails to get a sweetheart; and, infact, to put into the hands of our friends the most interesting volume the studentsof this College have ever gotten out.We feel that the work when completed will need no apologies on our part.We realize that its imperfections will be many, but the reader will please bear inmind that it is published by college boys and girls, and not by experiencededitors. It may occur to some that we ought to apologize for calling thisvolume ALOHA; but we think that unnecessary, since we did not get it fromthe Class of '93, but from the lips of our honored president, to Wh0111this volumehas been dedicated.In '93 "Aloha" meant quite a good deal, but we hope to make it mean farmore in '99, and we have adopted that name for our book, hoping that succeedingclasses will call their publication "Aloha," and thus establish a permanent namefor the class annuals of Western Maryland College.The material in this volume will necessarily be varied, as it comes fromvarious sources; but our object is to please, and you know there is nothing morepleasant to the reader than variety.If there happens to be a joke on you within these pages, remember that ithas been written with the kindest of feelings, and that all must share alike in thejokes as they flow spontaneously from those who' are always so ready with theirwit. If anyone escapes entirely, let him consider himself fortunate; for you mayrest assured that our eyes have been open this year with a view to the publicationof this book.We wish to express our sincere thanks to all those who have so kindlyassisted in this work, but we feel especially indebted to some members of theFaculty who "ave rendered valuable service, and would like to, mention theirnames; but as we cannot mention individually everyone that has helped, wewould say to ali who have assisted-a-your work is highly appreciated.
