APPRECIATION OUR years ago a group of new studentsu went through the intricate process of registration at Holbrook Hall, meeting, among others, Headmaster David R. Porter. From the ranks of the unclassified we have steadily risen to hecome, at long last, mighty Seniors. Soon we graduate-receiving from the same man who welcomed us to the campus four years ago a diploma, therehy terminating the end of those four years. We are the first class able to express deep appreciation of the careful guidance through four years that Dr. Porter has given, for we are the First class to have entered as freshmen under Dr. Porter as Headmaster. To those mighty men and women known as the faculty, we are unahle adequately to express our admiration for their perserverance, their fortitude, their continual hopefulness, their knowledge, and their generosity. In classroom and on campus they have given freely of advice, encouragement, and friendship. ln their homes they have entertained us and acted as housemasters and neighhors. May the future surprise the faculty hy giving them bigger and better'-and more conscientious, Hstudentsu than the class of 1959 had to offer.
