A MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMASTER l Mr. L. R. Severinghaus, Headmaster As you seniors move into college life, much will claim your attention. Fore- most will be the excitement of a new environment and of new friendships. You will be surrounded by athletic contests, club and fraternity activities, and the pleasant informality of dormitory life. These attractions are understandable and in themselves in no sense wrong. Danger lies in the failure to limit extra-curricular life to an amount that will still provide sufficient time for sound scholastic performance. Under today's educational competition, it is not enough to get by in all your subjects. The student with a low group rating is first warned and then dropped. Bewildered by the sudden and usually irrevocable action, he discovers that college life, so keenly anticipated, is over. The carefully planned approach to life through higher education has come a cropper. A new design must be worked out. This should not become the experience of any member of the graduating class. Maintain a sensible balance between your study obligation and your social urges, and your security will be assured. It would be a pity, however, to have as your incentive to work nothing more than the fear of expulsion. Dis- cover the excitement of broadening your knowledge and of applying it wisely to your world. Accept personally your responsibility for the betterment of society, not only locally but in its broadest dimensions. And finally, undergird your living by being faithful to your religious heritage. A conscientious effort on your part to place first things first will bring you to a remarkable discovery, namely, that there is nothing inconsistent between a midnight hamburger and an honor record in college. 6

EDWIN ROCKEFELLER BALDRIGE fudge 1017 Walnut St., Hollidaysburg, Pa. Entered 1947 The Iudge came to the Oaks in his Senior year just to test the beds. But he claims that since that time his back has been straightened im- measurably. His voice with its Hollidaysburg accent could be heard above all others on the football field when Ed was out to mow 'em down last fall. As one of the founders of this year's Spanish Club, Ed is the only mem- ber who has been to every movie that the club has sponsored. The Oaks Boys, although they have not profited much by his talks and debates, will tell you at every chance they get that Ed is the best thing that has hit the Oaks in years. His mail, a letter from his best girl every day, and his friendly attitude have made him one of the best liked fel- l ' h ' l . Spanish Club, Sec. G Treas.

Entered 1947 Haverford's Physics classes have been interrupted continuously by a boy who always has a difierent answer from that of the author of the textbook. The funny part of the matter is that Lev is usually right. Not only was the school graced by Levis's smiling face, but also it has profited by his quips. When the soccer squad needed a man to fill a place on the team, Levis filled in so well that he won his school letter. His mighty muscles could be seen on display in the crew shells on the Schuylkill River in the spring. The School will be sorry to lose such a personality as has been present during these past months in Levis Baldwin. 8 Soccer H VI Crew VI
