In fifTy-one years Kinkaid has grown from a one room building To one of The mosT beauTiful and oufsfanding preparafory schools in The counTry. This could have only been accomplished Through The work of our beloved Mrs. Kinkaid, who was known To Us all as a friend and advisor. She devoTed her lifefime To The beTTermenT of educaTion for children. Her goal was aTTained wiTh The final opening of The new Kinkaid School. Mrs. Kinkaid will live in our memories forever, as she sfands for The sym- bol of The spiriT of Kinlcaid.

The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. CWilliam Makepeace Thackerayl. l hope that in your Kinkaid years you have learned the truth in Thackeray's as- sertion that our world is largely what we choose to make it. This does not mean that we are uninfluenced by outside pressures, but rather that these need not control us. ls this perhaps the characteristic which distinguishes us from the ielly-fish and qualifies us for the title of Free Men? ln the rougher moments of your Freshman year, you may be tempted to feel abused, to blame your disappointments on someone or something else. How much of this will be of your own doing? Will your looking glass be giving back but your own reflection? 'XZZV-ff'
