To the Faculty Many, many years ago, in 1492 to be exact, a man named Chris- topher Columbus set foot upon the shores of America and gave to the world a country which has grown to be the greatest of the six continents. True, he knew nothing of the existence of America,.but because of providence and a burning ambition to Find a shorter route to Asia, he discovered a land far greater than the route he sought. With his discovery, the history of a nation began. It was the spirit of adventure, new, glorious, exciting adventure, that brought the people of his world over to make our world what it is today. True, too, they wanted gold, freedom, and the chance to live their lives in their own way, but underneath they felt the un- deniable urge of adventure, and they heeded it. With Columbus the conquest began, and after him it continued down through the ages. Disputed, the object of men's love and hate, America withstood the strife. Men began to grow, and as they grew they began to love more and more the reason for their conquest, America. After the experience of discovery, adventure, and conquest came the civilization that had a deeper, more poignant meaning than it would have had, had it not been for the struggle that had preceded it. Prepared for a civilization deserving of the strife, we welcomed it and made ourselves worthy of being a part of that great thing for which the followers of Columbus fought and lived and died. Q To the teachers of Scott, whose faith in us has made us more able to be 'a part of this great world of civilization, we wish td ex- press our sincere appreciation. -Our entrance to Scott was a great adventure, but before the adventure, we discovered how admirable, how worth-while was the building we entered with its many oppor- tunities. Our conquest was the fulfilling to the best of our abilities the tasks which were set before us. And finally, when we reached our goal, we were better prepared for civilization, with a fine sense of values and the desire to give the world the benefit of the resources of our inner beings. As Columbus discovered 'America and started it on its way to- ward civilization, so have our teachers discovered the finer things in us. By helping us to develop them, they have prepared us for the finer things in life. Perhaps the comparison seems too impossible, but in reality, it is small. Columbus discoveredg men came for ad- venture: others fought in the conouestg and the rest were bornto make civilization from the work of their ancestors. But the teachers of Scott have done all with the same clay. They discovered the finer things, guided us through adventure, aided us in conquest, and prepared us for civilization. And we of Scott are proud. Mary Walbridge Bell, ,29 2I f
