 -1 ■ ' 3 - 3 3 3 ■ DEDICATION As most people know, the institutions of home and family are of particular importance at Orme School, having been central to its origin and development. In our deep concern for the continuation of these influences, there is probably no one in the school community, other than Aunt Minna and Uncle Chick, who has contrib- uted more than Jack and Lou. The Alfreds will have arrived at Orme School ten years ago next September, shortly after their having left New York City to find a more favorable climate for their son, Steadman. It was not long before they had become established members of the community and the ranch family. If we stop to think a moment, we can all appreciate very keenly their contribution — preparing three meals per day for 200 or more people, day in and day out, winter and summer — as clearly a great chal- lenge; but done with cheer, good spirit, sincere interest in the boys and girls and the community as a whole, it becomes a great triumph. In a family that has grown to a size of almost 200, it requires a true art and a real demonstration of the most genuine concern that a real feeling of home be maintained. It is an art to maintain the balance between the efficiency mid con- trol, on the one hand, necessary for operating a sizeable food serving establish- ment; and the friendliness and concern, on the other hand, required to operate it in such a way that every boy and girl feels he is an important and welcomed indi- vidual when he steps into the pantry-way as a hopper, to do a chore, or simply to say hello. The chief interest of youth, even in an environment where high thinking is intended as the central theme, is never really far removed from its appetite. Jack and Lou give the youthful members of the Orme School community the beat in home cooking as well as the warm friendship which build and maintain our all-important concerns of family and home. To a couple who demonstrate unending endurance, loyalty and affection, we dedicate this yearbook.
