QVEWOV Modern Rhythm . . . What does it mean? Or does it embrace too much to be measured by words? Yet it characterizes everything symbolic of high school life as it is lived today. At a pace in keeping with that rhythm the events of the year 1936-37 have been made into a tangible memory for the participants of these events. High school days, once gone, can never be recaptured but their recording will bring a mental replica of those years. Days spent at high school-some of the happiest days of life-have slipped by, like modern rhythm, somewhat too fast. Nor has gayety ac- companied every moment. Reality has become a part of the lives of the students. In future years when the world with its work-a-day character has in- creased its throngs by these students this yearbook may be a relaxation from the daily demands of that world, and a reminder of the days of youth. So the staff of 1937 has attempted to portray student life in its rela- tion to the rudiments of the rhythm that dominates modern times. In creat- ing the Masonian of '37 it has been a pleasure to play this part in the rhythm of YOUR life.

edicafiwz Superlative adjectives don't seem appropriate in anything which has to do with her-that isn,t Miss Frances Forster. Rather, itis the trick of just being herself by which she exemplifies the force of rhythm in education. While in high school, weive met a lot of teachers-each presents a new personality. It's the teacher that knows how to be a friend as well as in- structor who will not be forgotten by students. In brief, that is the reason the class of ,37 dedicates this volume of modern rhythm to Frances Forster. She has received the degree of Master of Arts through her interpreta- tion of the life of Georges du Hamel-yet she hasn't become too much above her students to gain their confidence. Not afraid to laugh, sheis always just one of those in her classroom. Modern rhythm in education has shown that sense and sense of humor go together. Maybe we admire her because she knows how to balance the two traits. Sincerity, simplicity, and forceful personality characterize her-yet we wouldnit want to face her and say it. It wouldn't be Frances Forster if we did. So we enclose everything we have to say to her in two words she taught us-merci bvacoup.
