FOREWORD wg 5,1 Lucite, breathless and propped against a tree in the garden, looked at the Red Queen and barely managed to gasp '. . . in our country I If you'd generally get to somewhere else - if you ran very fast for a long time as we've been doingf 'A slow sort of countryl' said the Queen. 'Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you l1lllSt run twice as fast . . .' So it is with the year book. livery year it runs a race with its former self to get somewhere else . liach year, as it goes to press, its editor, faculty adviser, and editorial board find themselves in Alice's predicament - breath- less and propped up against the tree trunk of their achievement. Because their race has never been in vain, and because, inevitably, they produce a liner book than they thought possible, I welcome this opportunity to con- gratulate them and to express my appreciation of their work which has been tireless, sincere, and effective. The year book has always been worthy of winning its race, and over the years that I've known it, it has become its own best test of the ability, originality, good breeding, and good taste, not only of its staff but also of its contributors. . Above all, it has been a source of very real satisfaction to me to feel that it has been increasingly illustrative of the hne spirit of this school expressed through ideas, in words, and by pictures- that spirit which I feel is the very essence of Oxl'ord's life, the inner substance of the school's right to exist. May this spirit guide the students of Oxford School in all of their personal and social relationships. May it point the way toward finer and clearer thinking and, in particular, may it give direction to those who will edit the Uxfordian in the years to come. E1.1zAincTH M. FITCH J' 5 .3 It is only just as we go to press that news of the resignation of Miss Fitch as Headnzistress of Oxford School has been received. The Class of 1948 wishes to express to her its appreciation for her guidance in dijicult problems, and her example that only through perseruerence, diligent application, and sin- cerity can we attain our ideals. Aftore than that, however, we wish to show our deep gratitude for the friendship, patience, and understanding which she has always given to us. Miss Fitch's good judgment has brought us through many crises, and it is with regret and true affection that we say
