E551-USE TU THE PHI IIIPAI. This page usually is reserved for a message to our principal. That message is supposed to embody the feelings of the student body. As we set about putting this year's tribute into words, many flowery and beautiful phrases entered our minds, but when we proceeded to pen them, we began to realize how utterly short they fell of expressing to him our true feelings. After quite a trial of attempt- ing to choose adequate words and thoughts, and not doing such a very good job, we finally came to the realization that our feeling is something which goes far above and beyond the power of our poor words. It can't be simmered down into black and white print. It is something that can only be felt to be realized. It's that roar of approval that rises when he stands at a rally. It's the respectful hush that comes over the students when he speaks. It's that cheery Hello, Mr. Stephens, as we pass him in the hall. Yes, it's the sum total of all of these, and how can that be conveyed in written words? About the only adequate thing we CAN find to say is Thank you, Mr. Stephens- Thank you deeply and sincerely for being what you are-the personification of an ideal. May we always prove ourselves worthy of such a fine captain!

DEIIIIII-XTIU We, the editors and staff of the 1944 RED AND WHITE, proudly dedicate this journal to Miss Harrison. It is customary when offering a dedication of this type to mention several specific reasons for selecting that particular person as recipient of such an honor. In the case of Miss Harrison, we believe no such explanation is necessary. Her twelve years of out- standing work on Lowell's behalf speak for themselves. Any attempts by us to elaborate on that feat would be gilding the lily indeed. We also realize that words are coldg like marble, they cannot express our feelings adequately. Even if we could find the proper words, they would contain so many superlatives they would seem quite stilted. However, we can say, Keep it up, Miss Harrison. Now, if ever, Lowell needs your good work.
