Page Two DEDICATION Because John Ruskin embraces so completely what We would say about Education, to which we dedicate this Courier, We quote him as saying: The entire object of pure education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things-not merely industrious, but to love in- dustry-not merely learned, but to love knowledge- not merely pure, but to love purity-not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justicef' A

AN APPRECIATION It is with deep appreciation that I rake this opportunity, as have all the editors-in-chief before me, to thank most sincerely all those who have made our book a possibility. Without the help of many, our fond dreams could not have been realized. It would have been impossible to edit the Courier successfully without the cooperation of the entire school. I thankxthe faculty for their willingness to tolerate frequent interruptions, excuses from staff members, and from their classes during picture taking. My gratitude is given to the student body, in particular, for their good order during the taking of group pictures, which was a more diflicult task this year than ever before because we aimed at getting every pupil in the school into the book. Without the help of Mr. Claude Smit- ter, who was faithful to the last, our numerous group pictures never could have been taken. Jack Finerty, Chief-of-Police, deserves our thanks, also, for providing hall guards to help maintain order those three gruesome days. To these helpers we dedicated a page further on in the book, but we repeat here our deep appreciation for their time. To Mr. Frederick W. Schacht for being ready to help and encourage us at all times, to Mr. George Dasher for his willingness to give up much of his time to us, and to Miss Elizabeth Campbell for her indulgence for our requests for excuses and her cooperation, to these we extend our heartfelt thanks. Because of Miss Marie McCutcheon's unfailing help, our Chief Typist and Office Manager were more easily able to get their work done. To her we extend our thanks, and to Miss Randall and Miss O'Malley, ,who were also willing to help at all times. To the 2A transcript class, also, we give our thanks, to Anna Shunt, Elsie Stargel, Robert Stewart, Evelyn Kudoba, Elizabeth Ritchel, and Mary Supilowski, we acknowledge our in- debredness. Our Literary Editor wishes to thank, through me, Miss Lois Connor, Mrs. Wise, Miss Esther Lundquist, Mr. Kehoe, Miss Marie McCutch- eon, Frances Fancher, Gregory Sullivan, and all the students whose poetic and literary efforts are printed in this Courier. Our Business Department thanks Clarice Taylor, Bob Chapman, Charles Denne and Sonya Anderson for their help. Our Page Four l L4 Social Editor extends her thanks to Mrs. Wertheim and Miss Lundquist. Our Humor Editor expresses appreciation to Robert Stewart, Morris Strom, and Carlton Ernst. Stella Gatto and Viola Pellicciari spent many division periods gathering material for our Interview Editor. Anne Shirvin and Mr. Lange have made our Financial Secretary's load lighter, Robert Stewart and Elizabeth Roman have incurred the gratitude of our Publicity Editor. Our theme could not have been carried out with- out the competent aid of Miss Vizard, whose un- tiring efforts and enthusiasm backed our lovely art pages. The Librarians, who looked up illus- trations from which our Art Editors derived their inspirations, the Courier Art Class, and the Major Art Class, who are responsible for many of the panels, come in for our gratitude. To Miss Marlin, too, we owe our thanks for the lovely drawings she gave us permission to use, to Gregory Sullivan for his drawings for the Vocational pages, we ex- tend our thanks, and to those pupils who helped us sell our book by making attractive posters. Miss Margaret Taylor, Anne Shirvin, Vernon Jacobsen, and Jack Finerty receive thanks from our B. A. A. Editor, Mr. Cook from our Cartoon- ist, Miss McKirdie, Ruth Nelson, and Frances Koll from our G. A. A. Editor, and Albert Bateman and Miss Margaret Taylor from our Associate Editor, Mr. Neil Trimble, Miss Charlotte Smith, and Miss Margaret Plummer from our Music Editor. If I have omitted any helpers, it is not because I do not appreciate their aid, but rather because their names have not reached me. Without a staff composed of twenty-two ener- getic members, it would have been an impossibility to do all the work connected with this undertak- ing. My tha-nks go to them for their willingness to go outside of their own field for the good of the Courier as a whole. I feel that I have not adequate words to thank Miss Ruth Winslow Robinson, our adviser. Even the word, adviser, is inadequate. She is so much more than that. I believe that each Courier may be fittingly called a monument to her enduring faith in our feeble efforts. RUTH OLSON, Editor-in-Chief
