OREWORD Wc, the members of the Class of 1938, in issuing this Senior Class Book wish to convey our appreciation to those who have helped to make our years at Kingswood a truly great ex' perience. We are especially indebted to the Headmaster, Mr. Nicholson, whose leadership and scholarly advice have continually guided us, and to Mr. Williams, our Form Master, whose friend' ship and wise counsel we have had the great privilege to enjoy. We shall be forever grateful to the Faculty for their efforts in our behalf. It is our fond desire that this will express in some measure the gratitude we feel.

TO THE CLASS OF 1938 Leaving the Post, its kinships, its shelter. Into far forests shrouded in shadows Forth fare the hunters. Gay ring their songs as, stout snowshoes creaking, Outward they swing, full packs on their shoulders, Seeking new triumphs. Scattered afield, the hunters, to wander Fearlessly, taking trails to far places, Trying their manhood Aye; hut by Spring, released from their labors, — Laden with pelts, perchance, if they prosper — Shall they forgather Back at the Post, where, eager to greet them, Friends shall await to welcome, old comrades Share joys or sorrows Hail, Thirty-Eight! Your packs stored with knowledge, Song on your lips, stride outward high-hearted Into Life's forests! Smooth be your trails and happy your hunting! Soon may you seek this Post, where, expectant, We shall be waiting Harold Willard Gleason.
