THEPIERIAN . . . . ' . i 935 To our Subscribers: We present the Pierian as a remembrance of the nineteen- thirty-five Senior Class. In giving you this annual, there are several points that we believe should be brought to your attention. This book is supported by subscriptions and income from other Senior activities. In order to have an annual, we are required to have a certain number of paid subscriptions. This year our campaign drive was very successful and we feel that we owe you a word of thanks for your faith and support. As our second point, we wish to express our appreciation to the school executives and the teachers for their cooperation and patience during the preparation of this book. Last, but not least, we wish to remind you of the fact that many people are involved in the publishing of our annual. Our staff gathered the material, and the printer printed it. In order to get the material, many students have donated their services. We say donated because they receive no credits, no money, no prominence. We, as managers, are given praise or blame, but very seldom do the students who work under us get any reward if the book is good. If this year book has pleased you in any way, we feel that is the result of your faith and support, the faculty ' s fine cooperation and patience, and our loyal, hardworking staff. It is our sincere hope that in the years to come when you open this book, you may find it a pleasant reminder of your friends and activities at Morton. Edward Harris, Editor Robert WissleR. Business Manager The pen is mightier than the sword and less anwieldif.

1935 THE PIERIAN 2016981 ' DEDICATION DURING his life, every man may carve from his portion of the marble of Time, a memorial for which he is to be remembered. In dedicating the 1935 Pierian to Mr. Thompson, we are presenting the book to a man who has erected that greatest of monuments, the Record of Service. Having devoted forty-nine years of his life to the secondary schools of Richmond after receiving his A. B. and M. A. from Hillsdale College in Michigan, Mr. Thompson, in looking back over his interesting and varied career as a teacher and Dean of Boys, since rely says that he enjoyed every minute of it. He came to the Richmond schools to teach botany, but at first instructed in several courses, including algebra and Shakespearian English. He has seen the high school, from the ninth to the twelfth grade, grow from 150 to 1.500 pupils, has taught in four buildings, including that of the old Hicksite Academy, which was used while the present Garfield building was being erected, has served, at two different times, as acting Principal of Morton, and has taught several thousand pupils. His old pupils can never forget his teaching ability, his keen wit, and his lasting friendliness. He has derived a great deal of pleasure from becom- ing acquainted with boys and girls whose parents he taught when they were of high school age. Truly his life monument is a beautiful work, which has earned a note- worthy and lovable place in our hearts. And so, to that magnificent Record of Service, the Senior Class of 19 35 desires to add this inscription: Thy name is great. For thou hast taught and served many. O ivell done! We commend your pains.
