0ur Supervisors I I To compensate for the behavior of the pupils' attitude toward the teachers we feel that this column should quote the virtues of our instructors and not their vices. We students may act as though the teachers are the plague from Heaven but in reality every sentence and every thought is received with gratefulness for the opportunity to increase our knowledge.

And you may be sure that in all our future trials we will not need say, Lord God of Hosts be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget. , -R. Kipling. I I - Page Thirteen -
