g PACE SIX D E D I C A T I O N Throughout the years this class has come to feel that it has in Mr. DeC-ryse a friend who means much not only to the whole class, but to every individual. While not all of us have had the privilege of learning under his guidance, we have all felt keenly his strength of character and his exceptional understanding. His picturesque quotations from any and all languages when one of us has failed to prepare his homework will long remain in our memory. I-le has conveyed to us a liberal education in the ways and means of continental Europe. It is with a sense of deep gratitude that we of the class of l939 dedicate our humble effort as publishers to our beloved Abel DeC-ryse.
