IN MEMORIAM HE Class of 1940 will always be saddened by the remembrance that the year of their graduation was also that of the death of Dr. Barrows. Though few of us actually knew him, we all have sensed the great influence which this great educator and true Christian exercised over DeVeaux. XVe know that it was his remarkable ability and intense devotion that raised the school to a new, high level of standing and prestige. Fiore important, we remember that he was a man whom all boys loved, who could down the best of them in tennis and inspire the most reluctant with a zeal for learning. His power over boys, so many of whom he directed to success and happiness, resulted from a strong, masculine personality. His own helpful, successful life was the result of his high ideals and time character. We are both proud and sad in paying tribute in our CHEVRON of 1940 to a truly great man-to Barrows of DeVeaux. l ,QI 4 Ig..

FOREWORD F we--the Class of 1940-are proud, we honestly believe that we are justly so. We present our yearbook, Volume VI of THE CHEVRON, with a feeling of having achieved our goal. It was an advantage to have as a basis for our work last year's issue, which was a difficult one to beat. But, even though it helped us with the solution of some problems, there were many more that confronted us. The financial difficulties of publication were overcome only because of an especially efficient business manager and a hard-working staff. A scarcity of writers threw the editorial responsibilities upon the shoulders of a few, who proved capable of handling their load. Through- out the work success was insured by a spirit of cooperation and determination in the class and the care and guidance of our advisor. We have tried to improve our CHEVRON by making it just a bit more pleasing to the eye-smarter. The cover is distinctive, special attention has been given to set-up, arrange- ment, and choice oftype. The writing is tinted with a per- sonal styleg photography features the candid shot. Above all, our yearbook is representative not merely of the Senior Class but rather of DeVeaux School. It is meant to be a memento that we can turn to years from now, and remember- a souvenir of our school. We wish, finally, to express our sincere gratitude to our headmaster, Dr. Barton, to Mr. Stanley C. Roney, to Mr. Charles Metz, and to Miss lane Hardcastle, for their great interest in the success of this publication and to our advertisers whose generosity insured the presentation of THE CHEVRON of 1940. ,.,-:II 5 Fc..
