The members of the Class of 1968 lovingly dedicate this year’s annual to Mrs. Marjorie M. Triebert. Mrs. Triebert has taught al- most all of us and we know that she has many sterling qualities. To us one of the most outstanding of these is her complete and unfailing sense of fairness. When you take a problem to her, she will give you and your problem her undivided attention. If she thinks your com- plaints are justified, she will tell you so and will do her best to help. She will tell you, too, if she thinks you are wrong and will take the time and the trouble to explain why she thinks so. She is also inclined to dwell on a person’s good points and soft-pedal his short- comings — she knows that we all have some of both. Just as many ingredients go into the making of an especially delectable cake, many different traits of character are included in the make-up of a fine person. We should like to present what we shall call, for lack of a better term, a ‘‘character recipe’’ for the kind of person we feel Mrs. Triebert to be: Take a well above-average degree of intelligence Add a generous amount of patience and understanding Put in a goodly quantity of physical attractiveness Add a keen sense of humor Put in a dash of strictness — a highly necessary ingredient at times Don’t leave out the diligence given to each task nor the important spirit of determination Combine with love, affection, and interest in the aims of students and colleagues alike, and you will find that you have a rather remarkable person — Mrs. Marjorie M. Triebert. 19
