Although he is burdened with many important duties, he al- ways has time to talk over anyone's troubles, petty anxieties and various German questions. The Seniors take this opportunity to thank him for his long- suffering and patience with them through their many failures. We are greatly indebted to him for the good we have been able to accomplish.

Her discussions of the ways and means of school systems as they should be are unsurpassed in their persuasive powers. A. A. CZAPF, B.S., M.A. Diploma, Mt.

Having entered East Lampeter as a teacher in 1930, Mr. Czapf has gradually become known among the students as a master of sciences. His interest in addition to his broad knowl- edge in the biological world, has carried him into the depth of nature, searching for everything from the amoeba to the ele- phant, from the fungus to the eucalyptus tree. His humorous stories of college days as remembered by all, will serve as a constant reminder of his cheerful disposition. REBECCA C. LEAMAN, B.S.

Subjects: P. O. D., Consumer's Mathematics, Civics, Algebra. When we see a pair of big dark brown eyes, flashing at us, we are sure that Miss Leaman has detected a misdemeanor, but on the other hand, she can be cheerful as the first robin in Spring. lf you want to know the whys and hows concerning governmental details, ask l1er. She can really get down to the bottom of things and explain the deepest problems. The Seniors especially like to ask her advice because she in- variably helps them out with her unfailing interest in them. 12

441 lllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllmm.. .-uInmlllIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllll i K 'lllllllll' 1.-1 yes That See At the top of a beautiful marble stairway in the Library of Congress is a picture in mosaic. Seen at close range, it is an assortment of colored stones, cemented into a large panel. But from the lobby of the library this mosaic resembles a beautiful oil painting that might have been done by one of the old masters. As in art, so in every phase of life, we can be so close to things that we do not even see them. During the past year the radio and press have emphasized democracy more than in any previous decade. Why is it necessary to sell democracy to America -a nation that has operated upon democratic principles for over a hundred and fifty years? ls it possible that native Americans have been too close to democracy to appreciate its worth? We Americans take so many things for granted-our homes, good schools, free- dom of religion and representative government. To many of us, they are meaningless daubs of color-not a beautiful painting. Immigrants, who have seen America from afar, frequently surpass us in appreciation of our own heritage. I was interested in this recent description of a young Jewish refugee entering New York harbor. Wllhe little Austrian stood looking out with a transligured face at the tall buildings gilded by the bright autumnal sun. To her they represented a new heaven and a new earth. You will soon be out of school-members of our adult population. ltis going to be so easy to become one of that vast number of people who go through the years, touching daily the finest things in life, but seeing nothing. You are entering a world that is bristling with problems, but which is, in most respects, as fine as those that have greeted other generations. l can wish for you nothing better than that you will always have Keyes that see and hearts that respond to the most beautiful and noblest things you see. Your friend, G. C. KILHEFNER. 14
