HAT comes to your mind when you turn these leaves and see the photograph on the opposite page ? Do you think of the time when the original of this negative, with impassive expression and straight-line lips, told you no! you could not go home, or your excuse was not satisfactory and you must take a zero on your classwork, or that you were loafing and needed to get to work r Do you think of some anxious moments when you were summoned to appear before this individual to answer for your derelictions? Do you think of those frequent and meticulous talks in chapel when this same person harped upon the habits that young ladies should form, the ideals they should espouse, and the various characteristics that should be exhibited by a young woman who was to become a teacher? Did you ever speculate on what were his real emotions? Did you feel that this man wanted you to join him in a permanent partnership in build- . ing at Harrisonburg a great school — a school of good fellowship, of loyal sym- pathies, and lasting ideals — a school of refined, vigorous, capable, unselfish, and lovable girls? Did you feel that he wanted to be a real, personal friend to every girl who came to Harrisonburg, that he wanted this friendship to go with you in a very real sense in the years that should follow your school days? Do you feel now that he counts as his silver and gold those noble, unselfish thoughts and pur- poses that you are putting into your own life and into the lives of others? If you do, he is satisfied. {
