1949 Mandala ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The MIRABILE Staff wishes to thank everyone who helped to make the 1949 edition of the annual possible. We are particularly grateful to the advertisers and boosters who have supported us so loyally. Nor should we forget the parents who have made it possible for the students to purchase copies of our book and pay the various picture fees. The teachers have been most cooperative even when we have made nuisances of ourselves getting class rolls, collecting picture tax and preparing club data. Mr. Michael has always been understanding about and interested in our project and he has never failed us when we needed aid and advice. Finally, we want to acknowledge the debt we owe Mr. Herbert Smith, the MIRABILE photographer, whose skill, patience and cooperation have made the many fine pictures in this year's book possible.
