FACULTY anc MARGUERITE CAPEN HEARSEY A.B. Hollins: M.A. Radcliffe; Ph.D. Yale Principal In chapel when I would glance at the faculty seated together on the platform during the morning service in which we all took part, it would often occur to me how very much thev « t. added to our dailv life at Abbot. In the class- room where they extended their knowledge to us, on the sports field, and in the offices, I often marveled at their unending patience, genuine interest, and unfailing kindness.

DEDICATION For her Southern smile and warmheartedness which helped to smooth out many of the wrinkles of our school life; for her never flagging interest and under- standing; for boundless depths of energy and spirit, all of which have so enriched our years at Abbot, we, the Senior Class of 194£ , most fondly dedicate our yearbook to IVliss Hancock

Often in the evenings we would go to their rooms where they would listen to our prob- lems and troubles, and in complete friend- liness give us the advice we so much needed. From that very first dav when we came to Abbot as timid Preps until the final great moment when we were ready to leave, as alumnae, the presence of the Abbot faculty filled us with a sense of security. And so as I sat in chapel glancing often at the members of the faculty and at the portraits of their predecessors on the walls around us, it seemed as though these earlier ones smiled down in commendation and in thankfulness that their work was being carried on by strong successors.
