SSISTANTS TO THE MRS. VIRGINIA DE M. RAACKE URING our stay at Germantown we have all come to know and respect Mrs. Raacke. Her competence in an- swering questions concerning college courses and curricula is common knowledge to those of us who have at any time sought counsel. She has helped us solve our many problems and has proved herself to be a real educational leader. VVe, of the Class of June, 1942, take this opportunity to thank 1NIrs. Raacke for her kind and excellent guidance which has helped us through our struggles and has simplified our plans for the future. We are indeed fortunate in having had as our friend and adviser one so capable and understanding. We are neither the first nor the last Whom she has aided, but we stand in the front ranks of the appreciative. 10

DUFFY e E, OF the Senior Class, Wish to express our gratitude to Mrs. Duffy and Miss Freehafer who, as sponsors of the girls, so tirelessly endeavored to solve the many problems which faced us as an organized class.

Our contacts With them have greatly enriched our own lives as they doubtlessly will those of oncoming classes. 12
