We can hardly find words adequate to pay tribute to Miss Elizabeth A. Ditzell, who is leaving her position as principal after devoting over thirty years of her life to the youth of Burlington High School. Miss Ditzell came in 1918 as high school prin- cipal in what is now the Robert Stacy building. She had been previously teaching in the Mt. Holly High School. In addition to graduate work in this country, Miss Ditzell has spent almost a year in Europe studying at the Sorbonne and traveling in Spain, France, and Italy. Unsparingly Miss Ditzell has given of her time and sympathy throughout her many years of service. Beyond performing her duties expertly she has helped in count- less instances to secure information and financial aid for students who merited spe- cial consideration. Before the establishment of our guidance office, on the principal fell the responsibility of vocational counselling and job placement. Because of the nature of the work and size of the school students in recent years have often been restricted to purely non-social contacts with Miss Ditzell; most of us know, however, that her decisions have been born of understanding, wisdom, and wide experience. Because her own moral, intellectual, and social standards are high, Miss Ditzell has sought consistently to develop these in her teachers and her students. As befits an educator, Miss Ditzell has many worthwhile and extensive interests. The world of arts, of public affairs, and of nature are those which have contributed to her individ- uality. But foremost among her interests has always been the fascinating and exciting world of youth. For these reasons we are pleased to pay tribute to Miss Ditzell, sending with her as she leaves our best wishes for her happiness. 8 0

 Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true: To think without confusion clearly; To love his fellow-men sincerely; To act from honest motives purely; To trust in God and Heaven securely. May this challenge of Henry Van Dyke be your compass for life as you chart your life of service to God and your fellow- man! Joseph W. Howe Congratulations, Seniors! You are living in difficult times. Resolve that when the opportunity comes you will be ready and willing to work, to work hard, to work long and overtime if doing your best on your job requires it. Don't think the world owes you a living; rather does it expect you to do your share of its work. And you should do it so well, that in the words of the late Edward Bok, the world will be more beautiful and better for your having been in it. 7 Elizabeth A. Ditzell
