Miss Porters School - Yearbook (Farmington, CT)

Foreword As we reluctantly realize that our work on the Year Book is over, and anxiously but proudly present this fourth edition to you, we make three wishes for its future. Our first is that you who read it today may find it a record of the friendships you want to keep always, a reminder of days you never want to forget, little events, perhaps already forgotten, once so important. Our second is that the Ancients, to whom this book is dedicated, may be reminded again of school, and remember more vividly days which may now seem very remote. And our third hope is that if you turn these pages again, possibly many years from now, you may recall this year at Farmington, and be surrounded once more by the feelings you then knew well-of youth, of ambition, of security, and happiness. If our Year Book can do this, even in part, then our wishes for it-our hopes to make it a tangible remembrance of this year-will not have been in vain.
