To many stu- dents of Potomac State School, numerous doors on the campus have a deeper and more singular connotation. When a campus dweller is summoned to the President's office, the sight of the smoked-glass paneled door seems to create a certain feeling which could easily be fraught with trepidation. In complete contrast is the inviting wooden entranceway to the Center, the sight of which causes a sensation of joy and fellowship: for the Center is where the 4'gang meets. Probably the doorways that students go through most often are the ones leading into the classrooms. The wide, welcoming door of Rey- nolds Hall greets more joyous faces than sad ones. Doors of antiquity are little known to us. The oldest in existence are those of the temple of Balawat, which are sheathed in bronzeg a marble door was taken from a tomb in Pompeii: legend tells us that monstrous oak doors barring the entrance to a subterranean cave on the Isle of Crete concealed a living God to which human sacrifices were presented. The doors of our campus may not be as impregnable as those marble ones in Pompeii or as elaborate as those of the temple at Balawat, or clothed in mystery as those on the Island of Crete, but through certain ones of them the mysterious is to be found and solved, knowledge is to be as- similated and a new world is opened-a world of a better life and greater understanding of our fellow man.

WEBB mio Ari? lVlrs. Ellen M. Neill As Preceptress of Reynolds Hall, Mrs. Ellen M. Neill has served Potomac State since September, 1937. Her untiring efforts, cheerful countenance, and words of commendation have endeared Mother Neill to the young ladies who have made the girls' dormitory their home away from home. Reminiscences of dorm life will bring back fond memor- ies of gay parties and happy evenings made more successful by the thoughtfulness of the House Mother. Mrs. Neill's first concern has always been of the campus and her angels g yet her altruism and interests in- clude the church and community. VVith pleasure, the yearbook staff dedicates the 1950 CATAMOUNT to Mrs. Ellen M. Neill.
