In the past six years, we have come to take for granted the assist- ance which our teachers continually offered us. We have suddenly real- ized that the Senior year is a parting of the ways and the rest is up to us. They have come to know us well, and whether we succeed or fail, we are all better equipped to face our problems. You may not recognize some of their faces, perhaps, because of additional gray hairs or because they were new to us this year. Old or new, they're all our friends and helpers, the ones we're leaving be- hind us, The Faculty ....

The Seniors, vieciillyy, r anedhknid and long bflrtrmsity had al- ready bee 3 ' d by pictures of that handsomekliord Byron, to say noth- ing ot' Shelley and Keats! However, we tripped gaily into English class and decided that we would just sit back and wait t'or you to return. After a t'ew weeks, we decided that, after all, we, as Seniors, should set a good example for the Juniors next door.
