Harper pulled in her gangplank and set her sails for the high seas, a particularly fine and highly regarded captain has directed her course. Mr. Arthur Deaver has been not only the finest of leaders but the best of friends and counsellors. ASSISTING MB. DEAVEH at the helm is Miss Mary Sheridan, who became First Mate at the beginning of our last year's voyage. MISS HELEN MCCARTIN and Mr. Arthur Schreuder have handled the Work of the administrative office during the last months of our cruise. Mr. Francis B. McKeag, former office administrator, was transferred to another ship. THE SOMETIMES unpleasant tasks of student counsellors have been divided

ARTHUR G. DEAVER P R I N C I P A L THE CAPTAIN SPEAKS THE CREW of the good ship Shie1d have requested a few words of greeting and farewell from the Captain. IN THESE stormy times when the passengers, our graduates, alight on the foreign shore known as The World and strike out on their own, the world seems quite forbidding. Lucrative employment is almost out of the question. Continuation of their education in other institutions is often difficult. Absolute unemployment is disspiriting and hazardous. The best advice that an elder can give must be very general. THAT THE three hundred graduates in the two classes of this school year will find their places as quickly as possible and be happy in their life's Work is, of course, the earnest Wish of all of us who have had anything to do with their high school education. They must have courage, industry and fortitude. The Work of the world is not yet done. There are opportunities for usefulness and success even though these opportunities may be difficult to discover. THE OLD-FASHIONED virtues of honesty, industry, courtesy and use- fulness are particularly essential to one's success in these days of sharp competition. As you leave our ship and step ashore, our good wishes and best hopes go with you. May your life's work be of such a nature as to bring joy and satisfaction to yourselves and all those whom you serve as fellow-citizens.

During the September-February semester Miss Hughes, Mrs. Hart, and Mr. Kehoe held the positions of grade counsellors. From February to Iune, Miss Ranquist, Miss Hamilton and Mr. Egan handled this work. As Well as the teachers mentioned the entire faculty has participated in keeping our ship to her course. THIS YEAR'S faculty dinner was held at the Sherry Hotel in December. There were about seventy in attendance. After dinner a program was given under the direction of Mr. Borchardt, everyone forgetting the hour and the responsi- bilities of the classroom and entering gaily into the enjoyment of entertaining and of being entertained. The affair was managed in a most efficient manner by the social committee, of which Mrs. Carey was chairman. 13 .u
