THE STORY BEHIND THE DEDICATION This Senior Class decioeo to oeoicate this annual TO THE PERSON» WHO» IN THEIR ESTIMATION » WAS THE PERSONIFICATION OF THEIR IDEAL OF THE PERFECT CLASSROOM TEACHER. Such a one we found in Miss Maxwell. In the two years that she has been our advisory TEACHER» BESIDES INTERPRETING PAST HISTORY IN TERMS OF THE LIVING PRESENT, SHE HAS TAUGHT US, BY EXAMPLE AND INSTRUCTION, THE FOLLY OF KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT CHARACTER, SCIENCE WITHOUT HUMANITY, PLEASURE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE, ANO INOUSTRY WITHOUT MORALITY. TO ENUMERATE THE MANY WAYS THAT HAS HELPED US IS IMPOSSIBLE. We CAN ONLY, IN THE BEST WAY WE KNOW HOW, RENDER OUR APPRECIATION OF HER UNSELFISH SERVICE BY DEDICATING THIS ANNUAL TO HER, IN THE HOPE THAT IN THE FUTURE SHE MAY THUMB THROUGH THE PAGES OF THIS BOOK, SMILE, AND REMEMBER US The Senior Class 5
