IN BEHALF OF The Woodward Community, the Class of 1938 dedicates this yearbook to Mr. Elmer Rike. I-Ie is our inspiring and patient teacher, our amiable and witty companion, our loyal, dependable friend. His daily presence in Woodward has created in our hearts the values of courage, courtesy, honor, and unpretentious goodness. By the light of these ideals, we have endeavored to publish our Saga.

THROUGH THE SKETCHES in this book, we have tried to visualize an imaginary polar expedition. This expedition represents three tedious and painstaking journeys: first, the Antarctic exploration made by Byrd in 1928-30g second the entertaining progress through this year book, lastly our enthusias- tic strides to reach the goal of our life. At the completion of each expedition, we find the fulfillment of dreams. To the explorer, fulfillment means a new country, new spirit, new idealsg to the publishers of this book, it means an uncomparable Saga, to the ambitious student, it means an overflowing and happy life. Our objective is brought nearer by every step we take every minute of the hour-- if that step be taken in the right direction. Since this is true, we must have a guide to follow. An explorer requires a mechanical guide, a student needes a set of standards. The Higher our ideals are, the greater our rewards are likely to be. Each individual measures his capabilities, albeit imperfectly, and sets his standards in accordance. We of the Saga have published your yearbook with the aid of standards. Each page has been minutely planned to yield the most enjoyment possible, and an effort has been made to include material that will interest every student. Now, having completed our work, we present to you the finished product. Our one hope is that this Saga may bring many pleasant hours to you, our readers.

SA Advisers The four advisers of the Saga, Mr. Raymond Sheline, Mr. Hugh Montgomery, Mrs. Dorothy Matheny, and Edward Jankowski, should receive due recognition. Mr. Sheline has patiently and kindly aided the members with their new work. All the literature has been supervised by Mrs. Matheny, and all the printing has been done under the direction of Mr. Hugh Montgomery and Edward Jankowski. To these four, the Saga Stat? is greatly indebted. Michael J akcsy The student body and the Saga Staff heartily congratulates Michael Jakcsy, editor of the year book, on the fine piece of work he has turned out. Much of the labor and responsibility of editing the book has been placed on Michael's shoulders, and he has tackled every problem and mastered every difliculty.

The Saga Staif also desires to thank Mike for his leadership, cooperation, and good fellowship.
