C ua d Miss Joan Marie Madsen, a graduate of the University of Michigan, has been teaching Latin at Leyden for four years. Aside from the subject matter, she has always managed to make her classes different from any other, often pulling a student through the maze of Latin grammar,Caesar, Cicero,and Virgil by sheer willpower alone. Although her interests are wide and include reading, going to plays and concerts, and an immense collection of clippings, she always has time to hear any student's tale of woe. It is only natural that what she has come to like most about Leyden is the friendliness of its students. Anything you want to know about chemistry, college, or physics? The man to see is Mr. Harry Turnbull. He has been teaching and advising students about such matters at Leyden for the past two and a half years, ever since he was discharged from the army in which he served two and a half years as a technical sergeant. Mr.Turn-bull received his B. S. degree from Bradley University and his M. A. from the University of Iowa, which, combined with his ready smile and friendly classes, make him well qualified to serve as a member of the Leyden family 7

 3 — iv This family album is the record of our friendships, activities, studies and achievements which, in the years to come, will always influence our lives, though they are only memories. Memories of the rustle of papers as the bell is about to ring. . .the rapt, engrossed faces of people learning lines for school plays. . .the hushed expectancy as the Homecoming Queen and her court enter the assembly. . .the feelirig of religious reverence in the air during the Christmas Pageant. . .how different the boys look at school dances in their best suits and with their h ai r slicked down. . .the last minute cramming for final exams. . .expressions both jubilant and woeful when report cards are issued. . .all these and countless others. It is hoped that this album of the Leyden family will serve to keep them fresh and bright. hi ft ■ b
