HttdmAWi ' i Jomucud This afternoon it is twenty degrees below zero. At the edge of the field outside my office window there are great mounds of snow, left when the parking lot was cleared. Little grade ones and twos are climbing them, playing king-of-the-castle” and tumbling down into the drifts at their foot. By the time these words appear in print, however, the grass will once more be green, the leaves back on the trees, and another school year will be over. To those of you whom this year is your last, I extend my warm wishes for future success and happiness. I hope you will keep in touch. We do not lose interest in you when you leave and we hope you will not lose interest in us. To those who have worked hard and cheerfully for the success of this year my grateful thanks. The happiness of a school and its reputation reflect the spirit of its boys. To Paul Wilson and his yearbook staff I can only express the hope that, after all their hard work, they feel that the book is as good as they hoped it would be at the time I wrote this foreward. R.L. Gordon Headmaster
