FOREWORD If “foreword” were to be changed to “forward” it would well represent the spirit which has always been present in every phase of activity at Washington State Normal School. It is this progressive spir¬ it that we have tried to ex¬ press by choosing a theme modernistic in design and symbolic of the indomitable and enduring courage of the wildcat. The keynote of modern¬ ism, whether in design or philosophy, is simplicity.

IN MEMORIAM MARY A. GRUPE, Ph. B. Teacher, counsellor, friend — to thou¬ sands of students who met her in class¬ room and office, Mary A. Grupe was all three. For thirty-one years, with but few interruptions, she devoted her¬ self whole-heartedly to the welfare of her students and associates in this school. In the role of adviser, she possessed the uncommon ability to search deeply yet gently into troubled lives and to cheer discouraged souls through contact with her intelligent optimism. It was of a few rare spirits like Mary Grupe that the poet wrote, “To live in mankind is far more than to live in a name.” RUTH ARMSTRONG LESLIE SHIELDS
