-- Foreword. --- HE day approaches when the members of the present senior classes must open a door and step into a new world fro-m the sheltering walls of the scihool. We do not go weaponlessg Allderdice has been our armory, and we have received here an education which supplies us with the tools witih which we may at least begin to make our way in t-he outside world. When We leave Allderdice we are, in a sense, passing into a compara- tively unknown or unexplored world, much as the young prince of The Izfory Door walked through the fated portals without much idea what was on the other side. As he went, eager to greet that which' was pleasant, and to overcome that which might menace, so do we step through a door leading away from this school life we have known. Whatever our path in that career which beckons to us, we ho-pe to find ourselves eventually on Quality Street, where dwell the successful. Therefore, in this journal, our last contribution to Allderdice before we take our leave, we have chosen as our themes the Ivory Door, symbolizing our outlook on life, and Qual- ity Street, which is our ultimate aim, a goal to be at- tained through merit and the quality and fineness of our work. 4
