-1 A worthy performance in the game of life cle- pends upon the possession of a few fundamental qualities of character. Courage, determination, fairness, courtesy, and cheerfulness are some of these attributes. Since we place so high a value on these traits, it is only fitting that we dedicate this record of our efforts and our successes in high-school life to one who has done much to encourage in us the qualities needed for success, and who himself possesses those qualities to the highest degree. It is, then, to Wilfred Leonard Childs that we dedicate this Volume of the E.choes.i' While Mr. Childs has for twenty years brought credit to New Trier through the work of his de- partment, it is certain that the invisible effects of his guidance have been of even greater Value, since it is to him that most of us owe our better understanding of the high art of sportsmanship. To Mr. Childs this is more important than the addition of new trophies to those which the ath- letic department has always brought to New Trier. Therefore, as a token of the regard and appre- ciation which we can only too seldom express, we dedicate this volume to Duke- Morton A. Mergentheim, Jr.

fx FORE WORD lr is with no slight feeling of regret that we. the class of '29, find ourselves on the point of saying farewell to New Trier. It is as a result of this unwillingness to forget our high school that we have brought together in this, our book, a group of pictures and anecdotes re- miniscent of our senior year. We have em- bellished them with a theme suggestive of ancient Greece, whose people were inspired by the same ideals of scholarship, sportsman- ship, and citizenship as we hope have guided us through our four years at New Trier.
