Flattery is the highest form of imita- tion, and imitation is the highest form of llattery. Its goodness, however. re- mains in the fact that it can be used as a most effective learning device. In a lifetime one comes in contact with many people that he or she ad- mires. Admiration brings about learn- ing opportunities. Today the learning situations are varied and meaningful. Graduating seniors find that both the present faculty-staff and alumni are acceptable examples of success. The cameo reveals variety and progress that will be most helpful to later living. L.
