'J hitnriala Engng 'Hnrntinn In All There is no place like the mountains, preach those who profess to know what is best for us. Meanwhile we swelter through mid-J une recitations, knowing that for us the mountains had as well not be. But when the twenty- seventh day of June dawns, the charms of the mountains, the sea, and all outdoors will no longer be as water was to Tantalus. Then we may drink of the joy of living.

Whether in the mountains. at the beach, or in his own back yard, Here's wishing every Manual Artisan, all the joy that the 'Good old summer time' can give. ilinrnunrh We, the present staff of the Artisan, present this, our work, to the students and faculty of Manual Arts without fear or apology. It is the first and last book we ever have or shall get out, and experience is a severe teacher.

Er! 335 fbias Ehankn For the successful completion of this semi-annual, we are indebted to many people. We give our thanks, first of all, to Mr. Glover, who has patiently waited and smiled, though the material was weeks late. Nor is Mrs. Colver less deserving of our gratitude for her time, trouble, and unceasing efforts on our behalf. We are especially indebted to Miss Donaldson and Mr. Wagner for their able direction of the Art Department in securing the art workg to the whole faculty for our disturbance of their classes from time to timeg and to the Whole school for their loyal support.
