FROM MY DESK In 10-51 the first Shield of the .Annie Wright Seminary was published and presented to the school with mingled feelings of fear and trepidation. During the succeeding years, with the success of the first yearbook back of them, senior classes have published their annuals. Now. the Class of 1041 has worked with pleasure and enthusiasm to give you this tenth edition of The Shield. On behalf of The Shield Staff I wish to express our thanks to the Senior Class for its encouraging support: to Miss Fitch, whose versatility has solved all of our problems; to Miss Evans, whose enthusiasm and generous offering of time have directed our literary efforts: to Mr. Goff. our publisher, whose energy and sense of humor have made working with him a joy: to Virna Haffer. whose artistic ability has produced our lovely Senior pictures: to Mr. Eyerman. whose photo- graphs of our school activities add much to the value of our hook : and to all those hewers of wood and drawers of water whose continual help in many directions make possible our annual. With sincere hope that our efforts will give you enjoyment and will bring back happy memories, we present The Shield for 1941. [6]

Portrait by V1RNA HAFFER FOREWORD mm work which the editorial staff of The Shield has accom- plished this year deserves our fullest praise. It has been a joy to watch this hook grow page by page, until, between its covers, it has become a finished product, dedicated to the best we have been able to achieve in a few short months. Perhaps you will remember how Alice and the Red Queen ran with all their might and main through the Garden of Live Flowers only to find themselves where they started and everything just as it was. When Alice remonstrated with the Red Queen thus. You ' d generally get to somewhere else if you ran very fast for a long time, the Queen answered: . . . it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast . . . ! A yearbook is always a test of its right to exist. It should represent the best a school has to offer. It must run a race with its former selves to get somewhere else and it must, therefore, run at least twice as fast. It is a test. too. of the ability, originality, and good taste not only of its staff, but also of its contributors. It must be a finer expression of Senior achievement and School cooperation than has ever been produced before. Above all. it must stand for the spirit of the School interpreted in ideas, words, and pictures — that spirit which is the very essence of the School s life, the inner substance which makes for its growth and development. May this spirit guide you all in the days ahead and may it point the way to those who wi ii P i an another Shield in the years to come. Elizabeth M. Fitch
