Davidson. Editorial UR YEAR at Peterborough Normal School is quickly drawing to a close. Soon, this year will be a memory. To keep this memory vivid and complete, the Year Book Committee of 1947-48 has striven. We have appreciated the assistance from the staff and students which has helped to make this edition possible. Special thanks go to Mr. Smitheram who has faithfully led us through the steps of preparing this book. In this one brief year each of us has formed friendships. some of which will be lifelong. Each of us has had many pleasures in work and play. and each of us has become somewhat Wiser through the efforts of a pleasant staff. It is hoped that this book will be the link to keep friendships lasting and pleasant memories bright. When We part, some of us Will teach in rural schools, others in urban, and some may change to another profession. Wherever we are, whatever We are doing, may each find happiness. For, unless We are happy, we cannot give our best. , -BETA M. SPROULE, Editor. Page Eleven

Fred Allore Red Cross Society .... Luella Homan Members of both executive groups have enjoyed arranging the various activities of the year. Guided by the advice and assistance of Mr. Woodruff they were able to avoid many difficulties and to discharge their duties more effectively. In order that future executives may benefit from the experi- ences gained this year, a committee has been active drafting a constitution which, we hope, will some day set forth the duties and procedures of the Literary Society. Any success which either executive enjoyed was possible only because of the splendid cheerful co-operation of all students and all members of the Normal School Staff. -JERRY HUBBARD, MARGARET RUTHERFORD.
