L'ENVOI When Earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have taded, and the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it-lie down tor an aeon or two, Till the Master ot All Good Workmen shall put us to Work anew. And those that were good shall be happy: they shall sit in a golden chair, They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets' hair. They shall tind real saints to draw trom-Magdalene, Peter, and Paul, They shall Work tor an age at a sitting and never be tired at all! And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame, ' And no one shall Work tor money and no one shall work tor tame, But each tor the joy ot the working, and, each, in his separate star, Shall draw the Thing as he sees It tor the God ot Things as They are! -RUDYARD KIPLING

... WH.: L, ,.. ... ,... s- , ...,..- -..A .. .. .... . .. DR. ROY W. WILEY DIED - DECEMBER 14, 1953 Dr. Roy W. Wiley, our outstanding superintendent, was taken from us with little warning. Death made his visit quickly and from our midst took a man of integrity and dignity. The stamp of sorrow still leaves its imprint in the hearts of those who had the opportunity of working closely with this man whose fine character demanded respect. His innumerable activities in the community marked him as a leader and civic- minded citizen. In a lite of service, he worked hard to establish those principles in which he believed. He was not afraid to attack Wrong, and he never lacked sympathy in any situation which called forth understanding. As a leader ot educators, Dr. Wiley was tired from doing good work. Daily he fought for a cause that was great and just-the cause of education. The school and com- munity lost a good man. But a glorious hope rises before us, as we contemplate the promise that when Earth's last picture is painted, the Master of All Good Workmen will make those Who were good happy and give them rest.

DIED IULY 3, 1953 After an extended illness, Ralph Sharp, a member of our faculty and World War II veteran, died Iuly 3, 1953, having served well his school. community, and country. Mr. Sharp was certified in Christian leadership work by the International Council of Religious Education, as well as being highly trained in the field of business educa- tion. His interest in the Allied Artists group of Pittsburgh and the Art Book Club of New York was evidence of his appreciation of those who have contributed culture to the world. P He was too young to leave us, but when Life let go, Ralph had already be- queathed a record of service which would be commendable for an older man to claim. This in itself is a great tribute. Mahatma Ghandi, the saint of India, has said that to be of service in this life. if only for a few years, means that one has found the answer. Ralph Sharp knew service for many years-the greatest service in the world today, teaching boys and girls. In their hearts lives his memory. In the Almighty's sanctuary he will find strength and beauty.
