DEDICATION Mrs. Harriet Swain Hurt, Dean of Girls, beloved member of our English department since our doors opened, dramatics teacher and director, sponsor of our Senior Honor Society and the Sub Deb Club, and sophomore home room teacher, died in Richmond February 23, 1953. “Her line had gone out to all the earth.” This was evidenced by the many spontaneous trib¬ utes received from her students at home and in far-away places. The following is a letter from one of her devoted students from the Kingdom of Yemen

We, of the Yearbook Staff, are but the voice of the Jaguar; its mind, its heart, rest in a thousand minds and hearts, and we can but speak for them. And so we know that we are not a few, but many, as we pause in the opening pages of our book for these few lines of quiet admiration. It is with humble thanks that we linger here, for every one who has known her. from the President of the Honor Society to the newest student of the drama has felt the touch of her helping hand, and become the better for it. It is for this ... for the aid, for the guidance, for every un¬ tiring moment and unselfish thought that we here rise as one to give voice to our silent words of gratitude. And so to your spirit, Mrs. Harriet Swain Hurt, wherever it may be, we dedicate the Jaguar of 1953; and when we slowly turn these leaves a dozen years from now we will stop a moment here and softly say . . . “Mrs. Hurt? Yes . . . she was my friend, too.”
