LOGOFTHETRIP An air of mystery pervades the Municipal Airport. Some twenty youthful travelers are waiting with an ill-suppressed anxiety. The information desk is besieged by curious ticket holders. To each is vouchsafed the same answer, There's to be a ceremony of some kind in a few minutes. The minutes drag on. As the clock shows five minutes to eight two important things happen: the door opens to admit a party of Steinmetz teachers headed by Principal O'Hearn, and a new, huge plane is maneuvered into place on the runway. The youthful travelers can no longer restrain their excitement and, with a brief greeting to the faculty party, dash to the plane and climb aboard. Precisely as the clock points to eight, Miss Adams steps to the prow of the sleek plane, in her hand a bottle of something or other, maybe ink, Mr. O'Hearn motions for silence and, with the words, I christen thee Silver Streak Miss Adams smashes the bottle on the side of the cabin. The motors start, idle a moment, burst into a deep roar and the Silver Streak staff is off to gather the information which has made possible this volume.

MR. DANIEL F. O'HEARN Two years ago we didn't know you at all. One year ago we regarded you with a good bit of awe. Now, on the eve of leaving Steinrnetz, we think of you as a kindly gentleman who makes rules only when rules are necessary and then enforces them with a srnile, one who is never too busy for a pat on the back to a deserving student or a word of friendly counsel to a bewildered one. We like you, Mr. O'Hearn, good-bye.
