Ve. the SENIOR CLASS, feel that this yearbook cannot go forth without paying tribute to Professor and Mrs. Isaac Ball, to whom this volume is dedicated. Mr. and Mrs. Ball have guided .M. B. A. boys in their scholastic and character devel- opment for over thirty years. In 1913, Mr. and Mrs. Ball were officially retired, but the characteristics of truth, honor, and obedience which this couple have always stood for have lived on at M. B. A., and will continue to do so as long as these characteristics are connected with the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Ball. DEDICA TION.

FOREWORD As the number of distractions and callings to which each of us finds himself exposed is increasing, and because, too, in times of stress people have a natural tendency to try to put into somewhat secure and permanent form those values and experiences of life which they prize, we, the SENIOR CLASS, wish to leave this annual as a record of a great year at Mont- gomery Hell — a year of special significance to us.
