In appreciation WE DEDICATE this book to our class adviser- Since we came to her two years ago, as step-children, Miss Straub has been faithfully sponsoring us through dues drives, dances, and grievances as numerous and contagious as the measles. ln her soft-spoken, kindly manner, she describes us lthe first class that she has ever sponsoredl as a good peppy, group of youngsters , and her only regret is that there weren't more boys among the ranks. The only possible answer to such a complaint would be, C'est la guerre , which Miss Straub will understand, it no one else. Although Miss Straub has acquired the additional iob of teaching Commercial English, it is most natural to associate her with French, Contrary to any rumors that may be current, though, she was born, not in France, but in Germantown, which isn't much closer to Paris than Elkins Park. Perhaps she mastered that enviable pronuncia- tion during the years she went to Smith or Middlebury. lt would be quite possible that she might have picked it up in high school, but the 'way we heard it, in those days she spent a good deal of her time on the basketball court! Probably one of the most distinctive things about Miss Straub is that she has never heard Frank Sinatra or even seen a picture of him. That makes her one of the rapidly diminishing few who haven't passed judgment on the craze of our high school days. lt is well that she can give no opinion on the subject, because after such pleasant harmony for two years it would be tragic to have a disagreement over a crooner.
