We all agree that education is invaluable, and we spend many years in obtaining it. Education is not something that can be obtained independently. We need the guidance of our faculty, who through their patience, under- standing and knowledge show us how to use the keys to learning. Whatever problems we might encounter, whether they be academic or personal, we are given encouragement and advice. Such understanding is deeply appreciated by us, who are groping our way through the maze of knowledge. At times we have tried the patience of our teachers, with our Spring fever, smudged papers, and fits of girlish giggling. No matter what, however, we always found that a helping hand was extended toward us. It is to our faculty that we owe the maturity which we have so far attained. The keys they have given us will open many doors in our life ahead. 11

Latin is really tun , isn ' t it, Mrs. Long? Mrs. Spence has all the answers! History is Mrs. Lowry ' s specialty. Let us take your picture, Miss Miller. Hard at work again, Mrs. Lloyd and Miss Gutheim. Was it Bismarck or Nebuchadnezzar, Miss French ? Somers couldn ' t do without Mrs. MacDougall. Anyone tor hockey, Miss Miller and Miss Fulton ? Mam ' selle and Mrs. Brown like Mount Vernon dances. 12
