TROD CTICD THE GREATEST PROGRESS in civilization during the last five decades has been made in science. Science has raised the standard of living of the masses and at the same time has put into the hands of man implements of destruction that can destroy the finest civilization. Education should bring to the individual a sense of responsibility of using our scientific discoveries for the uplifting of mankind. Our scientific discoveries of the past have brought new opportunities to boys and girls who are leaving school this year. The next ive decades may bring even greater discoveries and open greater opportunities for the student of today. It is very fitting that this edition of the Shingle be dedicated to science. GEORGE L. DEVILBISS.

Acknawlecigmjemir N0 ONE PERSON ever accomplished any large job single-handed, and this holds especially true with this yearis annual, for its pro- duction has been the result of much hard work by the staff, its advisers, the printer, and many other helpful people. First of all on my thank you list come Ballard students, since every one of you has helped us in some way or another, either by posing for pictures, writing reports, or just owning a Shingle. Then, too, there always seems to be a power behind the throne. I had three in the personages of our advisers. Miss Benham super- vised the senior and junior editors in their first semester work, earning their appreciation and friendship, Mr. Nobles directed the art editors, and Mr. Hazzard, the third member of our trium- virate, was here, there, and everywhere. Also, I'd like to thank those members of the faculty who gave their time to help us. Mr. McCaffrey, our patient and long-suffering printer, was in- valuable, while Mr. Dunn, his artist, taught us a great deal. Last, and by no means least, there is the staff, consisting of seven boys, four girls, and yours truly. Our work was sprinkled with laughable moments. Sig Johnson and Warren Kalbach, Shingle photographers for three years, were always having escapades with our precious cameras. Our typist, Alford Nord, really had a ter- rible time, for everyone's work had to go through his typewriter. Unluckiest woman of all was Shirley Trimble, proofreader, for she had to be a combination of a mind-reader and a memory expert. Marilyn Lonon and Geraldine Kempa, Mary and Gerry respectively, did a grand job of the senior section, as did Jean Hassall and Keith Anderson, junior editors, aided by Pinckney Rohrback, their assistant. Willard Swanberg and Floyd Jacobsen, the art editors, were subject to much razzing from the staff, but they kept right on working, as did Ernest Lund, sports editor. To conclude my rather lengthy wanderings in a scientific way- Q. E. D.-t'Thank youu and good luck to everyone. Your Editor, MARY ANN PARISH
