,-1 , ,, Inasmuch as I was graduated from the school at mid-year, please let me use this space for saying that my five semesters at Maumee Valley were the most exciting and the happiest of a varied and happy career. The loyalty of teachers and students will be long remembered. The many friendships formed here will endure. When, in the future, I shall hear of new achievements of school, or teachers, or students, my heart will swell with pride. Frater, ave, atque vale. IO 0 Z VL 8 Q, lflflf 61, 5 8 lf' QYN

Dear Students, The past year has been a happy one marked by much of the fullness of activity which of necessity was curtailed during the war years. On the other hand the school was saddened when Miss Smith and Miss Caroline Smead died within a few days of each other. Coincidentally, each had devoted almost thirty years to our lower school. Miss Carrie, the youngest of the Smead Sisters, joined the Smead school when it moved from Baravia, New York, in l884. Miss Smith had the unique distinction of having taught under each of the school's four administrations: the Misses Smead, the Misses Anderson, Miss Leland, and the present, My purpose in recording these facts here is to recall that both of these teachers were ofa cultural tradition, which we must try to emulate and per- petuate, that we and future classes may leave Maumee Valley as informed, purposeful, and happy as were these two. As a personal aside, I wish to thank all of you for the friendly welcome given me upon my release from the Navy. Except for the many new faces and the increased height under the old ones, the school appeared as natural as though it had been yesterday instead of June l943 when I left. Need I add that I am happy to be back. Sincerely yours, calf OR Z CL IWL 61, 5 8 lf' l 9
