2 eon RACHEL FOOTE PhB., M.A With a heavy heart we trudge into the office, wondering what our fate will be. We remember yesterday, when we ran the last few steps to English class, and with an even greater sense of guilt, that note passed in the hall. But as we reach the desk we find not a dean to be feared, but a real person with a friendly smile and kind, understanding eyes. Perhaps she assesses punishment, which we have to admit is deserved. More often she listens to our troubles or seeks those who need help. It is she who inspires us to uphold high standards of con- duct and character and shows us the joys of service to the school. The founder and sponsor of the National Honor Society and the High Scholarship Club, a friend of all in Forest, is our dean. Miss Rachel Foote. Poge Thirfeen

Pn KxUpxU WYLIE A. PARKER B.A., M.A. Wylie A. Parker, twenty years our principal, came to Forest first in 1 91 6 as an algebra teacher. When he became principal, he set out to make Forest a typical Texas school. He wanted to make Forest a school so saturated with the spirit, the atmosphere, and the physical manifestations of Texas that its char- acter shall be recognized by any chance visitor. With a Memorial Library of 900 volumes, trees and flowerbeds on the campus dedicated to great Texans, and two Forest clubs holding number-one charters in State and City historical societies, his success cannot be judged small. But it is not his accomplishments only that make him such a popular person around school. His friendliness and interest for even the merest student make him admired by everyone. foQ Twe ve
