First and foremost was the choice of a theme to be present- ed to the staff next fall. After much silent contemplation our adviser, Mrs. Harry Mintz, was struck with sudden inspiration.

We are looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you very much.

We have tried to capture here some of ourselves, who we were, what we did, and what we gained. And if you should find in one page, one picture, or one phrase some reminder of your days at New Hanover we shall fee! well rewarded.
