The undergraduates look forward to the beginning of another and more profitable yearg the graduates are planning the conquest of life in the business world and the making of successful, happy hornes. The teachers are looking backward to the yearis work with a critical eye and forward to another with a desire to improve the endeavors of the past.

L. E. DLJDLEY, B. A., M. A. Superintendent NOTED teacher, when asked hy one of her pupils the recipe for happiness, gave L three rules: first, memorize something worth while every day, second, look for something beautiful every day, and third, do something for somebody every day. l am thankful for an opportunity to work where I can observe these three rules. Sur- rounded hy hooks and cultured people, I find things worth remembering easily acces- sible. To find something beautiful, l need hut look outside my office door or window. The third rule is the easiest of all, and how happy we all ought to be that the lines have fallen to us in such pleasant places! Each of you can do his bit to make of our school a pleasant as well as a profitable place in which to work. My congratulations to you on completing another successful year. Sincerely yours, L 5 murray, Page 12
