ts 'fi tt 'ff vord 3?- As we look back on our years at the Academy we are, perhaps, most thankful for two things: First, the preparation given us in our separate subiects, in order that we might meet the challenge of college, and second, the preparation we received in order to meet the challenge of later life. Basing our belief on the records of previous groduates, we know that this preparation has been superb, and if we fail it will be due to our own shortcomings. As we leave this school, which we have seen grow in size and spirit during our tenure, many of us feel that we will one one day be proud alumni of an Academy which will be Cl leader among the preparatory schools of Virginia and, per- haps, in the East. It is our sincere desire that if, in the past, we have contributed anything to the Academy, so in the future we may be a credit to this School.

This rapid acceleration of years has brought us to the final realization that we must now step forth into a competitive world both friendly and unfriendly, both modern and ancient. Our world. is and will be a greatly changing one, and only those best prepared and equipped may hope to find in it happiness and success. We, as a class, realize that it is no longer sufficient to be of good birth or substantial means for our world now looks forward to an aristocracy based on ability. IN
