(jjyv IjDJUL 0 0 FOREWORD With the long awaited strains of Pomp and Circumstance” just beyond our hearing range, we, the class of ’50, begin to look back over the years we spent in the old familiar classrooms. It is here that we dreamed the dreams of youth, learned of the past, prepared for the future, and wrote the first chapter of our lives. There were many golden moments in that chapter. Now in- delibly written in our minds, some of the most impressive have been chosen to be highlighted in the ’50 Cavalier. May we in the years to come as we turn the pages of our yearbook be recalled to our high school days and think fondly to ourselves, I remember.”

Old Man Sun had a smile on his face when he lighted Miss Ethel Dodson’s path to GWHS that early September morning six years ago. She came supplied with a radiant charm, a captivating manner, and remarkable versatility. Knowing a good thing when we saw it, we warmed to her immediately and she soon was not only a teacher but a friend as well. In 1945, her second year at GW, Miss Dodson added to her already heavy duties in the English Department by assuming the sponsorship of the Cavalier. Her work in this capacity, her gentle voice, easy laugh, and sincere interest in each of us has made her one of our favorite instructors. Therefore, the Class of ’50 takes great pleasure in dedicating this issue of the Cavalier to our Woman of the Year,” MISS ETHEL M. DODSON.
