fSjf 3a Not Sraii I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead. He is just away. With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you — oh, you, who the wildest yearn For an old-time step, and the glad return. Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here. Think of him still as the same, I say, He is not dead — he is just away. James Whitcomb Riley

Sditorib Ttotc Since every year it is customary to publish an annual with which to re- mind our grandchildren that life was no snap when we were young, vol- unteers were called for near the start of school. Many of the previous year’s staff members returned and the rest were new but willing to learn, and we hope that they will return next year. Being on the staff is not as easy as many non-staff members may imagine. Out of hundreds of blurred and out-of-focus snapshots, the Mirror staff has selected and put together a book which is to be a remind- er of life at school in 1954. On blank pages these gallant people have put words that they hope will be taken in the sense they were written and either laughed at or reminisced about in the future. In spite of it all we enjoyed it and will have a great sense of accom- plishment when this little book is finally sent to press. We sincerely hope that you enjoy the product of our efforts. (If any memories recalled are unpleasant, call them typographical errors and overlook them.) SHARON FOSTER.
