To the man who has with untiring diligence i and impartial judgments guided the high school education of every senior, and who has given freely of his efforts and sincere concern to make it complete and profitable, We, the Class of 1939, gratefully dedicate this Retrospect. Mr. Willey has considered and dealt with the problems and interests of the students as if they were his own, and he has sought in every way to im- prove the morale of the school. His advice and actual close supervision have made possible this publication. From each senior, then, comes this expression of appre- ciation: All this still legible in Memory's page, And still to be so to my latest age, Adds joy to duty, makes me glad to pay Such honors to thee as m Qi1 Perhaps a frail memorial, but sincere.

PREFACE H O young Mariner, Down to the haven, Call your companions, Launch your vessel, And crowd your canvas, And, ere it vanishes Over the margin, After it, follow it, Follow the Gleamf' -Tennyson. As graduates, our gaze seeks more distant horizons, and our high school career lies behind us-a chain of memories: many happy, some triumphant, a few tinged with sadness. In this book we have tried to bind those memories together in a tangible and lasting form. Our present foundation of knowl- edge and experience must be enduring, for so often we forget what we have learned because there is nothing to remind us of it. If this book can help us remember those triumphs and defeats that have resulted in experience, and ultimately character, and if it can help us keep our gaze clear and calm with assurance and confidence in ourselves, our nation, and our God, it will more than justify its publication. 4 i
