i.ouis n. McWhorter PRINCIPAL To the 1921 Hesperian and its Headers It is only nuturiil that I should feel a peculiar interest in this hook and the classes that publish it. June 1921 completes one full high school generation of my work with you. The class that graduates at this time is the class that came to West with me. In September 1917 we were Freshmen together, each in intense rivalry with the other in the mutual feeling of newness, and freshness, and greenness. If out of this four years of association both of us have not felt some increase of power and strength, physical, mental, and spiritual, then indeed there is something seriously wrong in the attitude, the capacity, and the intent of your principal. You came to us. in a sense, daring us to help you. and we have tried to do so. You came to us lacking in full sense of your responsibility, and we have tried to develop that sense. You came to us wanting much for yourselves, and we have tried to teach you to serve others. You came to us with your eves open only to the facts and experiences of the immediate present in time and place, and we have tried to give you a broader, freer vision of future usefulness and effectiveness of endeavor. I would not have missed this opportunity of knowing you and working with you for the world. I only trust your experience has been as rich as mine and that out of our association may grow for you the fullest measure of success and huppiness. Very truly yours, L n. McWhorter. Pit 6
