Dedication We dedicate this Annual to Mr. Pooley, the soul of tolerance, good humor, patience and wit. We admire his intelligence, laugh at his jokes and like his classes. We hope he'll enjoy this literary god-child and we're wishing him a great deal of the best. W Foreword Annual forewords usually read something like this: An immortalization of the bright period of our lives, our school days. Compiled to preserve the sheer fab- ric of light hearts, young days and the record of an in- stitution of which we can be securely proud. lf when you are old and gray and sitting by the Ere you can take this book and End that it calls forth tender memories of the happy days of youre, the Annual Staff will have accomplished what it set out to do. With fair words like these thousands of annuals before ours have used up all the ideas in the foreword writing line. So you see that all we have left to say is: We hope you'll like it and remember us by whatever's good in this, our yearbook. The Class of 1936

Principal H. H. Ryan qs Une moment stands out in my memory of The Life of Louis Pasteur. You will remember that one man asked another, Do you think the inoculated sheep will escape anthrax P The other replied, I hope so, for the good of France. That answer, I think, typifies the patriot scientist. He takes no pleasure in his own skepticism, but hopes that the new idea will be better than the old. The experimenter, the seeker after new truth has two major handicaps: he is groping about in new, strange, dark territory, and so cannot help stumbling a bitg and then he is constantly beset with the nagging of the ultra-conservative and the timorous, who may trip him if they can. It sometimes happens that individuals lose by the discovery of new truth, but mankind always gains. So let us say, I hope so.
