S H A M B A L L A H WELLESLEY - MASSACHUSETTS MY DEAR GIRLS: At this time of year I am always asking myself ifanother so large and promising a group of young people as our graduating class, can ever again be brought together at Dana. Wlell, we must face the fact that your work is satislactorily completed, and that you are now looking forward with eager interest to a new lile and work in the colleges of your choice. In this final hour I am moved to put up a plea for a divided interest on your part, that is, a continuing interest in and loyalty to Dana, while you are learning to know and love your new academic home. You see, we really do not want to lose any one of you and so beg for the letter, or the occasional visit, that will keep you in touch with what we are doing here lor those who will follow you, and will give us the pleasure ofknowing about your achievements in a stimulating and growth- itil environment. The new world toward which you are now moving will be much more your own world than the past one made by older people has ever been. We are trusting you to consecrate your abilities to the creation of this new and diHerent world in which we can all rejoice. We are still in the shadows ofa global sorrow, but shadows pass and the sun ofa new world-righteousness will rise to brighten and bless us all. That each one of you may have a share in bringing the promised new world to birth, is the affec- tionate hope of Your friend, HELEN TEMPLE COOKE june, 1 945. tm

CLASS WILL VVe, the Class of 1945, after successfully coping with tests and test tubes, words, figures, friends, teachers, diets and fire- drills, hoping we are of sound mind, do hereby bequeath those things which we held most dear this last year at Dana Hall to those we leave behind: To Mrs. Ripley we leave our everlasting gratitude for her enthusiasm and inval- uable guidance. To the Juniors we leave the joys and calories abundant in the senior room kitchen, the privilege of walking disdain- fully past study hall, and the relief of not having to find chaperones for six o'clocks. To the Sophomores we leave the antici- pation of Spread, the prestige of being old girls and upper classmen, and the love of their sister class. We leave the following individual leg- acies: We leave Audrey Shippeeis school spirit and dependability to posterity in hopes that there will always be some one in Dana Hall to carry them on. We leave Rose Sunis quiet charm to Frances Wells-need we say more. To Ginny Rising we leave Brenda Bow- manis convenient size. Maile Scott has generously agreed to share her Howing locks with Marty Holt. Cemetery leaves eight graves to be filled-and also Frances Penrose's laugh to haunt them. Brownie Morrison has graciously be- queathed her magazines to any future senior who has nothing to do in her study periods. 80 To each liiture senior we leave a set of false finger nails in anticipation of college boards. Alex leaves Dana. We leave Catty Raubis abundance of men to Sally Patrick, who we hope will share the overflow with the rest of the school. Bibs Fincke hands over her one way ticket to Exeter to Petie Hoving-lucky dog. As a class we would like to leave Nat Nowell's lovely poise to the Sophomore class to help them become truly worthy of being Dana Hall girls. We leave Barbara Doane's figure to be envied by all. To Pondie Ordway we leave all of the weight weive gained from September to June. Molly Clark leaves her bubbling hu- mour to be carried on by Nancy Munroe. Ann Shellabarger leaves Helen and Mary. Frances Penrose was going to leave the story of her operation, but couldn't bear to part with it. Last but not least, we leave this Focus to keep alive the memory of our class and our years at Dana. We hereby set our seal to this document on the twenty-seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and forty-five. Signed: rIlHE CLASS or 1945
