To thestudent body, faculty mem- bers, and business people, we wish to express our grati- tude for your cooperation and support in making it poss- ible for us to complete our work successfully. In these pages are only a few of the experiences and pleasures that have combined to make this year at Bel- cher School our best, but may they serve as reminders of your happiest moments with best-loved friends. Our fond- est hope is that you will enjoy this book as much as we have enjoyed compiling it for you. The Staff In appreciation of her sincere interest, unselfish giv- ing of her time and services whenever they are need- ed, we proudly dedicate this 1952 Golden Eagle to Miss Janice Davidson.
