“Because the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.” Gerard Manley Hopkins ROSARY • HILL 3 BUFFALO WE SEARCH FOR VALUE. Experience alone will not motivate . . . The importance of an object motivates . . . To a negative or positive end. There is an essential difference . . . Thjhgs subjectively important . . . Things important in themselves . . . Things objectively important. We search, not only to know what is, But to realize its importance. We deliberate, we realize the datum of value. There is a unity in these values. We find things of importance In all student activity, curriculum, In the spiritual and social aspects. These are our acquaintances. There is a consciousness of moral obligation . . . To respond adequately to a value. We try, are motivated . . . And we respond. Value response is rooted in a response to God. We become sensitive to value . . . We long for the Fruits of the Holy Spirit . . . But the process is life-long . . . WE SEARCH FOR VALUE. The Most Reverend Joseph A.

PAULA, O.S.F. To some is given the ability to select a single aim toward which they can work with unceasing vigor and enthusiasm. When the goal so chosen is connected with the progress of Rosary Hill College, it can find its expression in a whole hearted devotion to the students; for the most concrete testimony of the worth of a col- lege is to be found in its graduates. If one such single-minded person were the Dean of Students, she would come into frequent personal contact with the stu- dent body. If she were instructor of Amer- ican Literature and English Composition, she would guide them in the classroom as well. 8 . . . educator. Her task would be relatively clear: by being a guide and source of ideas for stu- dent activities, by helping girls lost in the confusion of immaturity find them- selves, and by opening doors of wonder to students caught by the power of her imaginative teaching, she would be a day-by-day inspiration to the young women of Rosary Hill. Many people are directing their efforts to the progress of Rosary Hill. Because one of them has unknowingly become an examplar of such devotion through her vital interest in the students, we, recog- nizing the great part she is playing in the achievement of Rosary Hill College, ded- icate the i960 Summit to Sister M. Paula —friend, educator, dean, confidante, idealist, administrator. ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY Who is the valiant woman? She is a woman of faith and courage; one bent on doing the truth; one giving the womanly attribute of service; one sharpening her values by scholarship and prayer. Sister M. Angela in an address to the student body told us that this is the ideal toward which we, as students of Rosary Hill College, should strive. What she did not mention, however, is the fact that we see this ideal goal in concrete fulfillment in the administrators of the college. These women of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity are, indeed, valiant women. In eleven years, their planning and super- vision has enabled Rosary Hill to ex- pand, enrich itself, and become a promi- nent college in the East. Year by year an increasing number of young women seek- ing learning and personal integrity have realized the value of a Catholic education through their contact with these valiant women. The educational philosophy of Rosary Hill, shaped by the administration, is carried to the students by the faculty. They share with us their knowledge of, and ideas on, the practical and aesthetic; the concrete and the theoretical. Through their inspiration and influence we learn, reason, and gain stability within, and scope without. It is to them that we owe the courage to try again even in the face of apparent failure, the generosity to give of ourselves and of our spirit’s wealth, the sincerity and inner strength which have made us truly women. They have dared us to strive for excellence. SISTER M. GEORGIA, O.S.F., Ph.D. Dean of Studies m SISTER M. PAULA, O.S.F., M.A. Dean of Students 14 SISTER M. ANGELICE, O.S.F., M.A. Bursar SISTER M.

Urban, O.S.F., M.A. History RHC LIFE At Rosary Hill, each year is somehow similar to the years before. There is the same pressure of papers and exams, the same round of classes and card games, the same traditional events. And yet each year is somehow unique, essentially dis- tinct from those past or to come. This difference lies primarily in the total per- sonality of the student community, a complex and ever-changing entity. Each class is different. As its members work together through four years, the class develops a personality all its own, and it is the interaction of four such per- sonalities with each other, with the Fac- ulty and Administration, and with indi- vidual members of the college, which pro- duces that intangible yet vital essence which we call “the spirit of Rosary Hill College.” Thus it is that this spirit alters from year to year, growing with us and chang- ing as we are changed, and yet remaining basically the same. As the motivating force behind the life of the campus, each of us has the privilege of furthering this pro- gressive spirit within and beyond the cam- pus unit, continuing the search for a true estimate of things necessary on all levels: intellectual, spiritual, cultural, social. We came without knowing what we .sought, confident in the words of others. We have learned far more than we expected. Beyond the campus, we have gained poise and ex- perience through travel and participation in con- ventions. While representing Rosary Hill at the Overseas Press Club in New York, Karen Brady and Jeanne Senecal had the opportunity of meeting Senator John F. Kennedy. 21 The spirit of Rosary Hill is rejuvenated every year on Moving Up Day, a day on which each of us looks back with nostalgia and ahead with enthusiasm. The lavishly and lovingly decorated floats, symbols of the classes, drive proudly through the main streets of Buffalo, weaving a streak of glory for the college, and drawing ever tighter the bonds which unite each class. As the parade began again on May 9, 1959, the spirit of this year was born. The long, lazy summer did not silence, but merely re-echoed, the eager laughter and song which heralded the arrival of this new chapter in our young history. For the spirit was even more vital in September, enhanced 190-fold by the arrival of the Class of ’63, and it has con- tinued to develop throughout the year, growing in dimension and intensity. The spirit emanates and grows from one to another. The queen and her court—representations of the Rosary Hill ideal. Reliving the ancient symbolism of the Offertory Procession, we may find that the Christmas spirit is within us. December io, 1959, the College paused between classes and holiday festivities for its own commemoration of Christmas. Father Fisher, self-appointed Mel Allen, kept excitement at a high pitch by broad- casting athletic action and scores throughout the afternoon. FIELD DAY, September 23, 1959, was a day on which the most important thing to be excited and shared was class spirit. Freshmen felt they had to prove them- selves. Sophomores wanted to impress Freshmen. Juniors sought to out-do Sen- iors. Seniors felt they had to prove them- selves. The Sophomores were most suc- cessful. By accumulating the most points in the skit and the athletic events they impressed the Freshmen and everyone else by taking home the trophy. The Sophomore Class’ presentation of the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.” At the Statler-Hilton, with surrounding music, and in a holiday mood . . . ... we could have danced . . , This was a year filled with memories. Every day held new experiences, events to be kept forever, but, as always, there were some that will remain especially memorable. Among the most unforget- table are the four dances which punctuated tke semester calendars. On October 3, the Back-To-Campus Dance re-awakened the spirit which had been dormant since May, signaling the end of summer and the beginning of the college year. Thanksgiving brought the Junior Prom, releasing us from the maze of notebooks and overdue term papers and giving No- vember 24 a special significance. And al- most before this mood faded into the rush of last minute assignments, extra jobs and Christmas shopping, the Senior Class cry of “Encore” heralded the arrival of the Cotillion. December 30, a highlight of the holiday social season, kindled a glow to carry us through the winter. Examinations over and spring come at last, the Freshman-Sophomore Dance on May 28, becomes our last major social event, bringing us together before we de- part for the summer, remarkably poised for the neophytes we are, and affirming, as always, that a woman is a wonderful thing to be. . . . and danced and danced all night. A successful performance demands a competent stage crew. The Rosary Hill College Players presented five successful performances of The Glass Menagerie in November. Under the direction of Mr. Joseph Herman, Adele Hamam and Mary Jane Zylin- ski provided a keen dramatic experience. F-orraine Dudek Arlene Evanish Mary Ann Schaefer Brenda Kowalewski and Jean Miano point the way to another Rosary Hill first, the opening of the Little Theatre. 29 It is this spirit that the Class of i960 will carry with them in June when they take final leave of Rosary Hill ... a priceless and infinitely precious gift. But the spirit will also remain behind, unseen and yet ever-present, changeless and yet dynamic, embracing the growth of the present classes and encompassing those still in the future. This, then, is our story—the spirit of Rosary Hill College in this our year, 1959-1960. . . . but have not lost our independence in conformity. We have realized the importance of lasting friend- ships . . . What gives meaning to an action is the motive behind it. 3° We are a young college, proud of our youth. We look to the men and women of the faculty for the realization of those values for which we are seeking. vn ACADEMIC LIFE To each of us, the four years which we call college must be above all a time of search, recognition, and evaluation. Indi- vidually, according to our own needs, we choose an area of concentration in which we seek a knowledge of life’s basic values. To some, the beginning of an answer may come in a science laboratory, through ex- ploring the far reaches of history, or while pondering the complexity of a Shake- speare or Milton. Others may experience a moment of insight later, when ideas gained in the classroom or library gradu- ally become assimilated. The task may at first seem impossible, yet the struggle goes on year after year. Philosophy and theology are the means by which we integrate our program of study to the one goal. And, as insight crystallizes into knowledge, we realize that the search for value is basically the same for all: a reaching beyond the ac- cepted and the apparent, a grasp for the fundamental and ultimate concepts of our existence. As we steadily proceed on our road, we come to a deeper knowledge of self—of our capacities and limitations. Heart of the academic community, Marian Library is a haven for long hours of study. It is here that our search progresses; that the many aspects of education are coordinated; that endeavors begin to be rewarded. These four years are a time of strength- ening these capabilities and overcoming the obstacles which would deter us from the realization of value. Abstract forms and shadows of the real may confuse our steps, but they cannot discourage us long, for we know the path we have chosen is the right one. 35 Mr. J ames Kuo demonstrates the technique of draw- ing to the Freshmen Drawing and Sketching class. Art, in the wide sense, is a virtue of the intellect which enables man to reason well about things to be made. Within the basic framework of the HUMANITIES, we look for value in man’s individual ex- pression. Literature interprets thought through language; art correlates the ac- tion of mind with hand; music expresses the idea through sound. Before attempt- ing to analyze or criticize, we undertake the mastery of one of these methods of expression. Through a knowledge of its history, we come to appreciate the fact that art best captures the spirit of a so- ciety. Thus, the Humanities are the vehicle of fundamental human values when they give a true picture of reality. Mr. Willy Malarcher explains the elements of Interior Design to Mary Ann Westlund while Joyce Jankowski, Louise Palumbo, Mary Ann Schwab, and Germaine Jasinski apply them to their own renderings. 36 Miss Patricia Curtis and Dianne Nisita listen to an instrumental recording in Orchestration Class. Through our experiences in these fields we discover the meanings of life. The ontological value of man and the cosmos, the intellectual values attained by man thinking, and the moral values of a right rule of life become increasingly evident. Understanding comes slowly, but once aware of the great potential open to us we pause: with wonder we watch the arts unify toward one transcending value. 37 Jeanne Strom applies results of individual instruc- tion in long hours of practice. The Bulletin acquaints Mother Stefana’s Inter- mediate German class with current events in Ger- many. Standing: Agnes Bowen. Seated: Sister M. Clare, Lois Grabbenstatter, Ruth Markulis, Bonita Mayer, and Rita Otterbein. Sister Aloysius directs Spanish students, Catherine Collins, Maureen Blackly, Patricia Eberts, and Susan Snell, in proper use of language laboratory equipment. Senior research in modern drama trends is given concrete expression in plays written and produced by English students. Gertrude Mam rod, Barbara Piteo, Patricia Stanton, Maureen Culnane, and Joanne Werner watch actors, Kay Murray and Judith Walker, while Mary Lou Mulhern prompts. Mr. John Masterson suggests a Chaucer reading list to Catherine Reilly and JoAnne Werner in prepara- tion for Senior Comprehensives. Judy Walker interrupts a meeting of student- teachers preparing for the City Examination with a humorous anecdote from her teaching experiences.

Third Row: Claire Deegan, Nannette Tyrrell, Mary Kay Hatch, Gertrude Mamrod and Mary Crysler. The art of teaching is a means by which we communicate the fruits we have gleaned from academic endeavor. The study of psychology and practical meth- odology leads us to an understanding of the student himself and how he should be taught. As student teachers, we develop the techniques learned in the classroom by active participation in area high schools. As we adjust to this position in the teacher-student relationship and be- come more familiar with the teaching role we have assumed, we grow increasingly aware of the chances open to us. Through the art of teaching we have the oppor- tunity of sharing with others what we have realized is valuable. Mrs. Marion Elmer points out the important elements of the unit plan to Lillian White. Physical Chemistry students, Emily Harzewski, Kathryn Doll, and Carol Siefert, observe as Mr. Wilbert Eger changes the pressure to raise the meniscus in a capillary tube. The Physics laboratory is the scene of group work in experimentation. Michelle Jasinski and Lucille Winiecki determine the acceleration due to gravita- tional force while Jacqueline Schmidt and Mary Crysler await results. There is a basic need in man to wonder about the cosmos—the close environ- ment and the outer sphere. According to the measure of personal interest, we question, explore and arrive at an under- standing of the cosmic forces and the world of SCIENCE. To a lesser degree, we learn the rudiments of environment, the composition of the world, and the forms of energy. To a greater degree, we plunge on into the realms of analytical and theoretical chemistry—questioning, experimenting, gradually arriving at a true analysis. We replace the questioning with an explanation fortified with facts and data. After intensive experimenta- tion, laws emerge in mathematical ex- pressions. Junior Mathematics students under the guidance of Sister Marion begin to see the evolution of mathematical thought. Back Row: Ann Corey, Patricia Peters, Elizabeth White, Julia Jenkins, Joy Lembic. Front Row: Jeanine McLaughlin, Marilyn Mercer, Barbara Bruso, Martha Moden. We begin to realize the splendid interplay of energy in all of its forms, and of the magnificent order of the universe. The laws of kinetics, dynamics, friction and density, electricity and nuclear physics are studied. We then attempt to apply these theories and laws to new problems in physics. Through intensive and extensive con- sideration of the various aspects of bi- ology, we watch the beauty of the com- plex life forms evolve, built upon the study of simpler life forms. From simple plankton to complex gymnosperms, from amoeboid bodies to complex mammals, we classify, compare, and prepare for research. Kathleen McCarthy and Jacqueline Schmidt, Sen- ior Mathematics majors, prepare for the class in Elements of Probability. Now we look to the heavens with wonder, realizing the tremendous potential above, which lies waiting for man to survey. Long ago scientists visualized myriads of possibilities. Generations of time have actualized them to a great extent. We shall maintain the continuity by looking with deeper perception into the cosmos of the atom or by traveling with breadth of vision to the cosmos of the universe. Barbara Kubala and Antoinette Fennie are assisted by Sister Regina in drawing the skeletal structure of the frog. Regina Detelfson, Mary Crysler, Michelle Jasinski, Sister Mary Louise and Patricia Dadante watch as Carol Lano weighs one of the mice used by the Biology Pro-Seminar project in investigating the dietary effect of picolinic acid on mice. 43 Annette and Anne Nguyen study the histological cross-sections of the liver. 44 Both teacher, Sister Clarita, and student, Barbara Marzolf, find the Chemistry Library a place of specialized research study. “Notice the Pectoral fin,” cautions Elizabeth Maddigan to Mary Schoell and Carol Lano as Sister Florentine observes in Comparative Anatomy. The fields in SOCIAL SCIENCES are unique and fascinating studies and it is necessary to devote to them a separate curriculum. In preparing ourselves for our particular roles in a complex and challenging world, we look to the pages of history for guidance. In the mistakes and accomplishments of the past we seek to formulate an adequate plan for the pres- ent and the future. We come, through long and arduous hours of research and discussion, to recognize and appreciate the vital role which each society has played in the evolution of the modern age, and to acknowledge the magnitude of our debt to the past. Mr. Charles Barresi assigns students to field work projects through which they will study sociological problems in Buffalo. 45 Drawing upon this vital storehouse, we are well-equipped to examine the twen- tieth century man in regard to his place in his own society and in the world. Michaeleen Olkowski and Barbara Czwojdak check current type styles for the yearbook. “Speed and accuracy require hours of purposeful practice,” cautions Sister Sarah to Secretarial students, Theresa Wojciechowski, Ann Meranto, Estelle Palmer, and Sister Alice Marie. 46 “Remember to find, filter and fix,” says Mr. Edward Cuddy as he instructs the History and Social Studies Pro-Seminar in the art of historical research. Left to Right: Jean Arns, Mary Rita Hofner, Jean Heffron, Mary Jo Pouthier, Kathleen McCarthy, Maureen Fennie, and Margaret Kellner. As we search for ourselves and our place in the mounting confusion of modern so- ciety, we begin to find our life riddled with questions. However, grounded in the sure knowledge of man’s fundamental value, we are ready to work out logical solutions to all these problems. In examining the societies of the pres- ent, we draw upon many fields, recog- nizing that within the complexities of a civilization innumerable elements are united. We try to synthesize the values found in all other areas of endeavor, and thus to arrive at an adequate, vital com- prehension of the value ol the human being,—individual and social, physical and intellectual, temporal and immortal. Mr. Charles Gliozzo interprets a passage from Rousseau’s Social Contract for the Modern European History class. 47 “After the British Empiricists, we will continue with a study of Hegel, Schopenhauer, and Comte.” Mr. Colvin points out the highlights for Michelle Jasinski, Hete Sugnet, JoAnn Werner, Carol Schau, Maureen Fennie, Catherine Reilly, Rosemarie Ostrowski, Lucille Winiecki and Gertrude Mamrod in the History of Modern Philosophy. We look for and find fundamental values in many fields, in familiar surroundings as well as in a personal and therefore unique sphere of interest; yet, whichever path may best suit our aptitudes, we all need the same preparation and guidance. In its probing of the complexities of human relationships, PHILOSOPHY leads us to an ever-growing awareness of ourselves as individuals, and as members of a complex and sometimes-frightening world. With this self realization, we begin to develop more valid and valuable judg- ments concerning our fellow men, the cosmos, and God. Students supplement the required fifteen hours of Philosophy with extensive courses in Eastern and Modern European thought. Rev. Stephen Gerenscer, S.P., explains the principles of Brahma and Kharma in Indian philosophies to the East and West class. 48 Rev. Edward Fisher administers a comprehensive examination in Moral Theology to Junior students. The mind thus orientated turns naturally to a consideration of THEOLOGY. Equipped with the necessary fundamen- tals, it is able to see and finally appreciate the ultimate, transcendental value of the Catholic faith. Armed with an ever-broadening knowl- edge of the basic values of philosophical and theological experience, we stand ready to accept and carry out the respon- sibility which we have chosen for our- selves in the academic community. Dom Virgil Michel’s influence in the Liturgical Movement is clari- fied by Sister Fidelis to make Sophomores aware of the growing interest in Church Liturgy. UNDERCLASSMEN She has set for herself a long and difficult journey along the road which leads to wisdom. There are many challenges and disappointments ahead, but the task has been begun; somehow, she will see it through. With the excitement of the uninitiated, she is soon lost in a maze of facts, and buried beneath a mountain of seemingly purposeless assignments. She tries not to be discouraged. Instead, she begins to steal a few precious hours to be alone, to try to bring order out of the growing chaos in her mind. Gradually, she begins to see what lies beneath the surface. When she least expects it—from a chance phrase during a lecture, from a dusty book on the Grosvenor shelves, in the midst of the most prosaic task, under- standing slowly comes. 7 T !4 '■ Relaxation and conversation after class hours . . . Her impressionability gradually dimin- ishes as the scope of her knowledge in- creases, but the persistence which she has acquired urges her ever closer to her goal. Once the light begins to dawn, the many aspects of her studies begin to fall into place, and at last she begins to appreciate, in a limited way at least, the values in- herent in every aspect of her field. She welcomes the convenience of the new cafeteria. Seated: Judith Smith, Mary Ann Mundy, Lorraine Wicka, Suzanne Erlanbach, Judith Terhaar, Sandra Moss.

FRESHMEN She is so enthusiastic that much of her time is spent just being enthusiastic. Her laughter is heard in the lounge (too often), in the halls (too clearly), in the class (too quietly), and in the dorm (too late). She is excited, young, so glad; and it is this unique spontaneity, this preoc- cupation with joy, that makes her so vital a member of the college. In her eagerness to learn and share her experiences she may often be confused, easily impressed, or quickly discouraged; but her optimism enables her to overcome such freshman foibles. And momentarily, in solitary hours of evaluation and retrospect, she recognizes the why of her endeavor: there is a thing called value. 54 Seated: Loretta Menza, Karen Ryan, Ann Marie Weiss, Marilyn Wilson, Lynn Lut- wack, Barbara LaBlanc, Barbara Halsted, Sandra Nuszkowski, Karen Maher, Audrey Kent, Margaret Lembicz.

SOPHOMORES Hers is the task of adjusting to her new role. Things are expected of her. Living up to this new picture of self, she wisely uses academic additions to her vocabulary and seriously discusses plans for the fu- ture (whether or not to finish school). No longer convinced that professors in so far as they exist are right, she goes to the library and returns with copious notes. She accepts greater responsibility; she is becoming a student and a woman. Funda- mentals are beginning to have a meaning. For, aware or not, she is developing a sixth sense, something called value per- ception. Standing: Rita Clark.

She belongs to the rank of upperclassman. She wishes it were last year, next year—any year but this. Now she must be serious. Her confidence in the general statement has been shaken. Things she once took delight in, are triv- ial; things she was certain of, are doubt- ful. She is beginning to see the importance of ideas that formerly were only words: wisdom, truth, goodness, beauty—these she must aspire to. Hesitant, she wonders. Wondering, she proceeds.

SENIORS She is a woman—the when I grow up be- come now. She knows that she must be many things to many people: a source of pride to faculty and parents, an inspira- tion to underclassmen, an answer to her- self. Feelings of inadequacy may plague her, but she has acquired a willingness to try (always) a little harder. The brightness of wings has guided her through the laby- rinth of lectures, investigation, and re- search. The transition between then and now is accomplished. The to be, once seen through the imagi- nation, is now viewed realistically. Appre- hensive, dubious, restless she pauses be- tween present and future. She trusts in the same Brightness Who has shaped her ideals to strengthen her should these values be challenged. Imperceptibly, cautiously, consciously she has come to a knowledge of self, of her inner self which has seen the revelation of life’s value. She might live for beauty or die for truth. Ready, she smiles, sure that she is herself.

Complementing the discipline of class- room and library, we prepare ourselves for future responsibilities through a sys- tem of self-government and a varied pro- gram of CLUB ACTIVITIES. The Ad- ministration has given the student body the right to govern its own affairs through its elected representatives. To each of us, S.G.A. offers an opportunity to express opinions and contribute to the direction of student life. Through the Student Council, all the co-and extra-curricular activities in which we participate are or- ganized and coordinated. The Campus Organizations Committee, under the Coun- cil’s supervision, aids the various club presidents in presenting worthwhile pro- grams to the student body. Related to each concentration is a club whose members are interested in pro- moting activities related to their own field. Through these we are able to broaden our interests and investigate aspects of our fields not considered in an academic course. This year, the Aquinas Book Club sponsored a trip to the Shakespearean Festival in Stratford, Ontario; the Inter- national Relations Club participated in a Model United Nations sponsored by area colleges.

Rosary Hill has, in a short time, come a long way in providing an atmosphere of home to those who must live far from familiar surroundings. Alverno Hall was opened in the fall of ’56, and Padua Hall only last September, yet already both residences have become integral parts of the campus com- munity. The newly formed Resident Hall Council recently succeeded in obtaining a seat on Student Council, thus insuring an even closer relationship with the rest of the student body. In i960, there were 81 registered resident students. The RESIDENT STUDENTS are a vital part of every class, club and organization, interjecting a necessary spark of contrast into the familiar pat- tern, contributing new approaches and original ideas to the ever-present problems of student life. They come from nearby towns and from as far as Vietnam and Eormosa, adding an international note, which increases our awareness of our rela- tionship to all people. Through self-government and co-operative living, they have assumed a real importance in the life of Rosary Hill College. Fall and spring Sunday afternoons are best spent outdoors, but anyone who has lived a winter in Buffalo will agree that some Sunday afternoons demand contact with hearth rather than nature.

After dinner, resident students with Sister M. Paula, discuss assignments, knitting, weekends, art films at the Amherst: whatever seems vital now, yesterday, or tomorrow. 122 BOARD OF TRUSTEES Mother M. Gonzaga, O.S.F. Chairman Mother M.

The days of our labor have been a bitter-sweet mixture of tense work, pouring out reams of ideas in word and on paper, and moments of close cooperation, successfully fusing individual contri- butions. In the age of the Status Seekers, The Quest for Happiness and the search for self, we have attempted to create a book which will be a manifestation of the spirit of the moment. This spirit is a pooling of our learning and its extension in our individual application. “Search for Value,” was born in the foundation years of our college life when an introduction to philosophy gave us the terminology for further study. In our senior year, many have come to the realization that philosophical studies are the core of all our learning and many have begun to use the principles learned to live courageously with the search for eternal Values. We extend out thanks to Sister M. Aloysius, our advisor; Sister M. Jeanne, our class moderator, Mr. Priest and the Wm. J. Keller Inc.; Mr. Surman, Mr. Osborne, and the Varden Company; the business organizations, our patrons, and our friends who have helped and encouraged us.
