Goddess of Wisdom and Understanding, we dedicate this book. As Minerva guided Ulysses on his perilous journey, so Miss Hamilton has been ever helping us in our tribulations, ever giving us her time and her patience. In the adventures we have had, it was she who in our most desperate hours inspired us with the self-confidence that we so needed, and now so greatly appreciate.

Deep in our memories, thoughts of all those successful plays will ever remain . . . Practise hard and be rewarded” is the lesson none of the male students will ever forget, for it is a constant reminder of ROBERT CRISWELL. a very popular physical training instructor . . . That cry has also reached the young women athletes of each gymnasium class, and we find MARGARET CROSS, not only training the maidens in keeping physically fit. but helping us in many other activities as well . . . Thcro is he whom we shall never forget, who will be brought back into our lives each time we hear great music, our maestro, ACHILLES D'AMICO.
