Jewell. Miss Jewell has made many innovations during her years as principal of Julia Richman. We are especially proud of the Nursery School that was instituted by her. She has guided our school with kindness, foresight and understanding. For this we will be forever grateful. Like us, Miss Jewell stands on the threshold of a new phase of her life. She will spend the years ahead enjoying her many interests. She is an avid opera enthusiast, and loves to read and play the piano. She has traveled extensively and no doubt the future will find her enjoying many a trip, sailing across the seven seas. As we look back on our life here at Julia Richman, we wish to express our appreciation to Miss Jewell for the privileges that have been ours, especially the privilege of freely and thoughtfully developing the best of ourselves, so that we may be worthy members of society. Our sincerest thanks go to Miss Jewell for her willing cooperation and her readiness to help us all. We wish her Cod speed and many, many years of happiness in her retirement.

My dear Girls, There is a beautiful Italian word, uchiaroscuron, derived from two Latin words-clarus fclearj and obscurus fobscure or coveredj. lt is defined as the distribution or the blending of the lights and shades in a picture , and it is the descriptive term of the 'cart of representing light in shadow and shadow in light so that the parts represented in shadow shall still have the clearness and warmth of those in light, and those in light the depth and soft- ness of those in shadowv. Applied to literature and to literary criticism, it emphasizes the contrasts that point up the values that the writer and the critic desire to emphasize. A sun dial bears the legend, MI count only the sunny hoursn, but in our lives we must count the shadowed hours as well, since everyone of us, inevit- ably, will have both. One of the major objectives of education is to give the individual as wide experience as possible in the innumerable areas for living in which a human being can and must function. These areas include the physical and mental activities, the economic, political and social fields, the spiritual and family relationships-to mention only a few. The purpose of this objective of education is to enable the individual to meet the challenges of his own age and the circumstances he must face. Education, then, does give us the power to evaluate our talents and abilities with reference to the demands made upon them. Education does give us the training to see the clearness and warmth in the parts of our lives that are in light, and the depth and softness of those in shadow. Education does help us to see that the sunny hours are enhanced in value by the contrast with the shadowed ones, and the shadowed and sorrowful hours are lightened by the knowledge that there will be sunny hours, too. '4Sweet are the uses of adversity Which, like a toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his headf, May you have many happy, sunny hours. May you face the dark ones with courage and the certainty that they, too, will add strength and depth to living and increase your understanding and appreciation of the beautiful and the good. Sincerely yours, Principal
