A cock crows. Suddenly, cnt ont of darkness against the star- light, a city rises. Then mnsic of a gnitar whirring fast, dry like locnsts in a hedge on a summer day, come the tapping of heels, the qnick npflinging of an arm, and with a magnificent gestnre, which is like a yellow flame against maroon and pnrple cadences, a dark-eyed girl dances defiance in the midst of a litany to death, the all-powerfnl. This is Spain. And as the dance whirls on, rise dreams of conquests centnries old, of galleons richly laden, of monasteries en- haloed with all the mystic grace of medieval beanty, of flannting, tempting, gaily colored carnivals, of ever snnny skies and lightsome hearts. They will always dance, these Spaniards, for within them bnrns the sonl of Spain so greatly diffused with that pride, daring, and infinite indi- vidualism, which have gained for her achievement, cnltnre, and ultimate joy. And we at Libbey are trying in this Edelian of onrs to catch glimpses of that joyonsness, romance, and idealism of which the sponsors of our city mnst have dreamed when they borrowed from the land of S pain, the name of onr city, Toledo.

Dedication She is pretty to walk with And 'witty to talk with And pleasant, too, to think on. A native of Toledo, Miss Dusha is a product of our own school system, having graduated from old Central High School. After a time spent at Toledo University, she took her Bachelor of Arts degree at Ohio State Uni- versity, and has recently received her Master of Arts degree from Columbia. A Periclean in high school and a member of Kappa Pi Epsilon at Toledo University, Miss Dusha has always taken a prominent part in the social and literary activi- ties of the institutions with which she has been associated. She is a member of the American Association of Uni- versity Wonien, and works with the Toledo Branch of the Alumnae of Ohio State as well as with the Alumni of our own Toledo University. After teaching a short time in the elementary schools of Toledo, she was transferred to Woodwarcl High School, where she taught until Libbey was opened. During the past eight years, Miss Dusha has endeared herself to the student body and faculty of Libbey by her delightful personality and her willingness to assume more than her share of work. Students especially feel the warmth of her friendship, not only in outside activities, but in the class-room as well. Chief among her interests has been her supervision of the Edelicm. To her is due the credit for the excellence of the literary work, which has, for several years, helped to win the high position that the Edelicm has attained among the year-books of northwestern Ohio. For this reason, we deem it a fitting tribute to work well done, that this, the Edclicm of 1931, be dedicated to Ruthanne Dusha rl 7 1
