OLIVE AND GOLD- L131 The inter-relationship between llflrs. Byrd and her seniors crowns their preceeding years of tutelage. Mrs. Byrd and the Senior year are synonymous, for as supervisor of the Senior class, as cicerone of the mysteries and wonders of the literary world, as coach of the Senior play, critic of the Olive and Gold, staunch ally of all athletics, and as chief inspiration of social and school life, Mrs. Byrd is the Senior Year. Even now at the end of the year, her breadth of vision, her vivacity and her indomitable Celtic spirit have not been wholly revealed. There is no set hour of the day nor yet one special cermony which monopolizes all the faculties of this manifold personalityg its presence is felt throughout the school. Awakening sluggish ambitions or spurring on promising genius, Mrs. Byrd contrives to develop each student who comes under her influence to the full capacity of his latent powers. TH E FACULTY To our good friends, loyal and true, we say farwell. We are a part of all that we have met, and we carry forth with us into our adventures the new strength and wisdom and courage that we have gained by daily contact with youg and which we, perhaps, in turn may pass on to another. Thus does the influence of good men live. It may happen elsewhere, but we know that in this school we have a most remark- able body of men and women, consecrated to our highest good. ' VALE It has often been said that the completion of a great thing which has cost its makers untold hours of labor, brings sorrow rather than joy. A consciousness of the passing of something grown dear, coupled with the realization that the pleasure as well as the work of creating is over forever makes regret temper the triumph of achievement. So it is that in these Hhasting days, many a Senior wishes to retard the approach of graduation. There is an unwillingness to leave his high school career behind, in which apprehension for the future plays but a minor part. He knows that he is fin ished not only with work and study, but also with the insurpassable joy of youthful companionships that fi lledhis high school daysg for in the divided interests of the years to come, these things cannot return. The four long years are four short years and he does not wish to go.
