ANNE CHAPLIN: slept and dreamed that life was beauty, I woke and found that life was duty. Anne has been at Elmwood for six years now, and next year she plans to attend Carleton.

Dear Keller: Somehow, patriotism, or affectionate loyalty, or house spirit, does count for something. It is hard to say whether the giver or the object of this power benefits more because of it. Yet, I cannot prove to you that house spirit (which can be put into the con- text of any spirit) is a good and worthwhile thing. What I am trying to say may become clearer if I draw an analogy with marriage. It is possible to enter a marriage and sustain an attitude of: My husband offered a security I wanted, but I don ' t love him, and I certainly don ' t plan to serve him. I don ' t believe that one can live happily ever after just be- cause of a marriage based on high principles. Some girls do marry with that attitude, but I don ' t believe any of you will because you have been given the opportunity to learn the importance of loyalty and affection. f.efs go back to house spirit When you, we Kellerites, hear Keller attacked, or ridiculed, you defend it by retorting, Keller ' s the best . However you do not say that necessarily be- cause Keller is a better, stronger, more-hardworking house, but because it has gradually become part of you; and you are a part of it. Some of you have struggled to avoid identifying yourself with Keller. But you are Keller. You are part of an indefinite quantity (and quality! ) of young girls, young and old women, who are joined together in an ever-growing union set called Keller. When we came to recognize this, we recognize our civic responsibility to our house and our school. On behalf of all the Boarders I would like to thank Mrs. Harkness for her wise, kind, and cheer- ful guidance along our path to maturity. Our thanks and appreciation must also go to Miss Robinson, Mrs. Earle, and Miss Hudson for their miscellaneous but continuous aiding and abetting. Thank you Miss Driscoll, for curhng, skiing, movies, and our outings. Before we all disperse in June — some of you I shall never see again — I want to say this: If you march into the future under the banner of ' Fair Play ' , you will always be on the winning side of life . Love to you all, Fleur.
