A MESSAGE A request from the editors of the yearbook for an introductory message signifies that the end of the year is approaching even though at the time it is written there are some inches of snow outside the office window. It hardly seems that another year can have rolled around. They go much too quickly, more quickly with each succeeding date change, I find. To me, personally, the year has been a thoroughly enjoyable one. It has had its difhculties and headaches like any other year, but the net result has been marked by happiness and a sense of progress on the part of both teachers and boys. In the outside world there are wars and rumors of wars and the sky is filled with portents of change-far reaching and profound change. What it all means, no one of us is as yet able to say, but I am confident that the curve of human progress points upward even though there are from time to time sharp and distressing dips occurring in it. Heaven forbid that our country should be involved in another world war, but if it is I know that Academy boys will give the same splendid and heroic account of themselves which they did in the last great struggle. Wliatcver lies ahead, it is clear to me that those who will be best prepared to meet it will be those who have trained, readily adaptable and open minds, those who have been taught to think things through, to see them clearly, and to see them whole. To the editors of the yearbook and the others who have helped to make it a success I offer my sincere thanks and appreciation. It is a more difficult task than is commonly realized by those who enjoy the fruits thereof. Lack of appreciation is a human failing, but you who have helped have gotten from your labors a training and a sense of accomplishment which will stand you in good stead. I wonder how many of the boys who attend this school or who are graduated from it could quote accurately its motto? Very few, I imagine, and it may interest you to know that it is, as a matter of fact, two Greek words-Aien Apieteyein. These words mean Never to seek the best. To that purpose the school has devoted itself for the past fifty-three years and will steadily continue to do so. For your cordial cooperation I sincerely thank you in the name of all vour teachers and express to you our heartfelt good wishes. March, 1941 ll
