FOREWORD During the past several years and especially the one just past, we have per- ceived an imperceptible but growing improvement in the life of the Academy. Such an intangible is easier to allude to than to pin down. Yet we know it is there, we are proud of it, and we are confident that this is just as it should be. We do not intend to imply that we have reached nirvana, but it is evident that the student body has attained a truer sense of where they are heading and how to go about it. Of course, there is always the homework, there is always Monday morning, and there is always the old desire to abolish both forever and always. Happily these irritations have not beclouded the fact that our enlarging numbers be- come more closely knit each year and the sense of unity of purpose between boys and masters steadily strengthens. Each boy, with a fine sense of futurity, feels that he is contributing to a school that he can look upon with affection and respect in later times. There is burgeoning support for Academy teams and a real progression of interest in the many other activities, among them the Glee Club, the Monogram Club, and the Science Club. We trust that this kind of interest will continue to thrive and widen in scope, an ever-richening and ever-deepening current. To this growth of spirit, individual and collective, we in the senior class hope we have contributed our best. We know that those who follow will, proudly and humbly, likewise .give of their best to keep the stream of Academy life flowing deep and true. 3
