HARRISONIAN The long hours spent in the preparation of this eleventh volume of the HAR- RISONIAN have come to an end. Our book is finished, our work is done. The fears and forebodings with which we approached its compilation have given way to a feeling of satisfaction for a task well done. Success has deigned to smile on usg our ambitions have been realized. However, We could not have reached our goal without the wholehearted coopera- tion of our many kind and generous friends. It is, therefore, only fitting and proper that we express our sincere thanks to our advertisers, and to our patrons and patronesses for their extreme generosity. Recognition, too, I'11LlSt be made of the kindness of Mr. William Rodgers who was most obliging when pictures had to be taken. In short, we are deeply grateful to all who have in any manner contributed to the success of our endeavors. May the 1942 I-IARRISONIAN serve not only as a memento of our high school days, but also as a permanent memorial of the countless friends we made during its production.

DAISY CHAIN LIBRARY GLILD Once again we are asked to record the activities of the Library Guild members for the present scholastic year. Once again we are forced to confess that our work left much to be desired, if it is judged by past standards. When we look back and consider the work we might have done, and the assistance we might have given to our adviser, Miss Cunningham, we are truly ashamed of ourselves. However, we did manage to be of some assistance to her in inspecting and cata- loguing new volumes, in directing the freshmen in the use of the catalogue Hle, and in relieving her of the task of checking books in and out. We sincerely feel that this was by no means enough. We could and should have accomplished more. That we did not is entirely our own fault. To Miss Cunningham, ever patient and kind, we offer our sincere apologies for our meager accomplishments. May our returning members make up for our many short- comings. Ave atque vale! One of the most striking features of our graduation exercises is the Daisy Chain. The Chain is composed of a group of junior girls, selected not only because of their beauty, but for their scholastic record as well. They serve as escorts for the graduates, and their appearance is both striking and effective. This organization was formed in 1932, and has been an essential part of graduation ever since. The true beauty of the group-twenty-four in all--was perhaps never truly appreciated until our exercises were held outdoors, beginning with the graduation class of 1937. There, in the bright sunset, the blending of the colors of the dresses made a picture difficult to describe. We salute the members of the Daisy Chain, and we salute, too, Miss McDonald, their adviser, for adding so much charm and beauty to our day of days-graduation day. Page Forty-seven
