W! Happiness comes with serv- ice and achievement. The pre- paration which you receive in high school should serve as a means to a more complete de- velopment of your abilities and talents and to a realization of your ambitions. lt should serve as a basis for a more intelligent participation in the many acti- vities of your community. Dean of Girls We are living in a World of law and order, not in a World of caprice. We are here to dis- cover What these laws are that We can escape the results of error. Fortunate are those ot us who learn this truth early so that We can live a well ordered life of contentment and happi- ness. I Assistant Principal THE DECANOIS
