Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1948 volume:

CJL Annie Wright Seminary TACOMA, WASHINGTON If we work upon marble, it will perish. If we work upon brass, time will efface it. If we rear temples, tkey will crumble into dust — but if we work upon immortal souls, if we imbue them with principles, witb the just fear of God and love of fellow men. we engrave on those tablets something which will brighten all eternity. Daniel Weh ter Dear Miss Schreiber: To you with deepest admiration, we lovingly dedicate the Shield of 1948. Through your many years in the Seminary, you have become to us a symbol of the highest aspirations of this school. Your warm friendliness, indomitable sense of humor, and fine understanding will ever be remembered by those of us who have had the privilege of knowing you.

THE SHIELD STAFF Last year when the Staff gath ered to plan the yearbook, styles and times were rapidly changing. We thought that the Shield would leel old-fash ioned in its last year s garb, so we decided to give it The New Look . We sincerely hope you approve of its appearance, and will enjoy its pages full of memories. The Shield board turns to you. Miss Lewis, with deep gratitude for your tireless assistance, genuine enthusiasm, and humorous patience with our whims. We hope that as you look back on this edition, your memories will be pleasant ones. The Shield also extends heartfelt thanks to Nelson. Ld, and Hob Richards, who have given so generously of their time and suggestions, to the Mothers Club for their fine financial support, and to all our other enthusiastic contributors. 10 CLASS MOTTO L]jiwa f id and (Dnwaxd CLASS COLORS ana Wku SENIORS- igqS Upward and onward we will go; Blue and white, our colors, we will ever show.
