QQ? PECIAL APPREUIATIU N times of tense feelings and raging strife, the quiet, friendly manner of Dr. Porter has served to keep us steady and true to our course. The firm hand extended to us on our first day, the quiet talks and advice that have had as profound effect on us in their manner as in their messages, and the quickening influence of his understanding leadership - for these are we especially grateful. When we, the Seniors, leave this hill, perhaps for the last time, we shall he parting from a friend and a helper whom we cannot adequately repay, a friend whose influence will continue to strengthen and guide us in the difficult days ahead. Yet, our loss as Seniors will he the loss of the Whole school, for Dr. Porter also is leaving this hill. He has accepted a call to enter into a much larger field of endeavor, the work of the International Red Cross and the War Prisoners Aid of the Worlfl Committee of the Y.M.C.A., where, he feels, he can render his hest service in the re-education of war prisoners throughout the world. In the history of Mt. Hernlon School this year marks the end of one important era and the hcginning of another, on which all true Hermonites pray God may shed h's grace, as in past days he has done. gm l l w
