V HEY VE struggled with us, they ve used every known method to make us study, they ' ve laughed with us and at us, and through it all been more generous and kind than we deserved. How can we best pay tribute to them, these members of our faculty with whom we spend the better part of our time here at school?

Mr. Graham ' s amazing pro- ficiency, from managing the entire business of the school, to cooking spaghetti at the cabin for us . . . his office is the destination of all problems ... the Book Room, symbol of Miss Taliaferro ' s methodical neatness . . . no one in school serves us with the same wonderful capability or resourcefulness . . . Miss Hiner, an integral part of school with her budgets and bills ... the treasurer ' s office is the scene of numerous and important transactions . . . without the services of the administration, the clockwork of the school would stop.

And Dr. Wynne — his hearty laugh has smoothed over many a perplexmg situation; all of us who taught a quarter were his constant trials. In the Arts Department, Miss Coulling and Miss Bed- ford have accomplished wonders — we never thought when we signed up for Art that we ' d be proudly exhibitmg jewels, pictures, and pots.
