imnmmi Miss Wing has been a gracious part of our every day; she has never failed to wear a smile. She has listened with good-humored sympathy to the complicated provisions of our diets, prepared our favorite menus, and known just when an extra special dessert would boost our spirits. Her optimism and artistic touch have been present in the colorful flower arrangements which always brighten the dining room tables. On holidays she has brought us closer to the festivity and meaning of the day. Above all, she has created in the dining room that intangible something which makes it home for all of us. Therefore, the Seniors of 1954 dedicate their annual to Miss Wing, a friend dear to our hearts. 5

ii in min To the Class of 1954: Idealism is unfashionable today. Men of principle who have the courage to stand up for their beliefs are no longer considered heroes by most people. Yet a life without high personal ideals is flabby and drifting, swayed by the chance influences of per- sonal whim or casual association. Your Christian heritage should establish your ideals. How can you attain these even in part? I believe that the first step is to cultivate a perceptive approach to people, to try to understand basic human relationships and to act in your daily life on the basis of what you know and accept intellectually. An aware and perceptive person who is conscious of her own responsibilities, who tries to use her powers to the fullest extent for others, who regards herself as a child of God with all the obligations which this implies, can build a stable and secure life even in this shifting and troubled world,—a life which is happy and rewarding. This is my wish for each of you. Rosamond Cross
