DR. W. L. BRAUER Principal The World is fast becoming one community. It should be increasingly clear that only rank conceit can justify the belief that any national group can be wholly superior to any other. History is abundant with the lessons that we cannot turn our backs on efforts at understanding of, and cooperation with, the other peoples of the world. In the education of all of the peoples lies the great strength and force to help us move forward to the necessary mutual understandings for a cooperative world with all its fruits of liberty and peace.

DEAR MR. CHAMBERLIN In Memoriam But three short months ago We greeted you With birthday cards And wishes deep and true For length of Life And all good things To come to you. But now you're dead And we are filled with grief: And pain so floods our hearts There's no release in words. As mute and inarticulate We can but feel The burden of our loss: The tearing up of roots We planted long ago. How can Death sever All the bonds of close Association through the years? Of patient understanding? Of sharing joy and grief And storm and stress together? How can Death destroy Affection and respect And all familiar routine things Built by unity in Work, Our mutual reaching Toward a goal? Ah, be assured, dear friend, That Death holds no such power! And though your weary body Rests in some far field Forever, and in passing Time, forgot: Your glowing love of God and Man Lives on, undimmed. It lives within the Life Of every child who better serves Both God and Man Because he passed your way. MR. CHAMBERLIN Principal 1934-1957 And our memorial to you Shall be to keep the torch alight To seek the heart and soul Of every child, to see his worth And to so teach, that we. Like unto you, shall ever be Dedicated servants of humanity. Bessie Murphy

MR. A. W. THURNER Vice-Principal Except for the staggering amount of money being spent at this time for military purposes, education is America's biggest business. It is quite generally accepted, too, that it ought so to be. For the principle is universally accepted that a great democracy, such as ours, can neither be permanently maintained, nor be made to function properly, except in ct country with a well-educated citizenry. ' Where education is deemed to be of such paramount importance it becomes obvious that education must be broad, undergirded by the great principles of freedom and equality laid down in our Declaration of Indepen- dence and in the Constitution of the United States. To these principles We are committed Under God.
