To Our Director Lest We Forget Lest we forget! Aye, but who among us ever could forget him, our director, Doctor Silver? He will remain first and last among our mem- ories of P. N. S. That title '6Director fits him Well, for he not only car- ries out his professional duties, but as well he supervises all our activities, including the orchestra, the glee clubs, debating, athletics and camping- his favorite hobby being directing chapel music. He preaches to us of the glory of Work, and he practices what he preaches by putting his Whole mind, body, and soul into the improvement of our alma mater. He pleads that We think, and he thinks deeply when he most skillfully plans our Work and play, solves our most difficult problems, and decides ever with unques- tionable justice. For such qualities as these do We respect and admire him, we love him for his kindliness, generosity, open-mindedness, and ever ready sympathy. . In time of doubt or temptation, it will be well if, in memory, we hear again his wise counsel, or see again his earnest face-and think! lest we forget.
