DIRECTOR ' S voice Ab the current Academy year draws to an end we are busily recording examination scores. These scores in company with the results of many other actions taken this year and with the suggestions and advice of others may, if carefully deliberated, lead us to discover better ways and means to progress in our endeavors. araduates, until this time the respon- sibility for keeping your score has rested upon the shoulders of the Academy administration. Now is the moment following which the world will look upon you as men and women and when the points tallied next to your name will each count far more heavily than before. However, as your scores mount to what I hope will be for many a very satisfactory total, I hope that your thirst for further advancement will not be quenched. Of more importance for all of us is to retain our curiosity, our desire to develop further skills and knowledge, and our use of not only these but all of our best personal qualities and competencies to influence others to follow in a similar manner. Before you go, I have one last request to make. Please keep us well supplied with news of what you are doing. I promise to see that it is passed along to your friends. Best wishes for your sucess and happiness. A. Hendrick Drake A.H IDRIOX DRAKE, Director
