Memory — Hold — The — Door This is what John Buchan called his autobi- ography, and I often recall his title as the school year draws to its close. Memory, that wise old doorman, has an arduous job at Mount Vernon as year after year, for over eighty years, our Seniors have passed through his portals. How wonderful is the enchantment of memory lending to all happy things an access of grace while the disagree- able are soon forgotten! While memory holds open the door for me, I must confess that the glimpse of some classes seen through it is faint and indistinct while that of others is vivid and radiant. There is little fear that our memory of the Class of ’57 will ever fade, for it was under your fine leadership that the Honor Code was formulated, and is was your wise, good humor and upstanding example which implemented it. What a lovely way to be remembered! We say, Good-bye” to you with warm grati- tude and the lively assurance that for our red- coated Seniors of ' 57 the door of memory will always remain ajar. 9
