F ii ii f; h ii ii n The following pages are devoted to the almost futile attempt to express that which cannot be expressed by mere words and pictures. Perhaps it cannot be expressed at all—only suggested. But, because a beautiful scene should be painted, because an inspiring stvry should be told, because a melodious song should be sung, and be- cause an impressive thought should be written, a sincere emotion should be acknowledged. School spirit is one of the most sincere of all emotions and knows no better acknowledgment than in a Year Book, into which we may look in the years that follow and still feel its pre- vailing presence in each face that recalls a friend, each line that brings back some poignant memory. Thus, it is the purpose of this Year Book to capture between its covers that intangible quality, the spirit behind the scenes, which is not confined to the campus, but will, in the future, be found in our hearts.

I) EII11' 1 T Ml 1 Though our world today is one of uncertain and changing standards, there are certain ideals which will never change —those of patience, truth, courage, enthusiasm, and human understanding. Thus it is that we dedicate La Reata to Miss Katharine Lee, whose courage and enthusiasm were major factors in the formation of our Year Book, and whose patience, truth, and understanding have enshrined her in the hearts of each of us.
