OLIVE AND GOLD 11 in sympathy with our endeavors, and, above all, to our critic Mrs. Byrd, we extend the sincerest thanks. TO THOSE WHO TAKE OUR PLACE. And now, Juniors, to you we hand the key to the Olive and Gold office. To you, we leave the responsibility of upholding the traditions of the school through its magaaine. You have never failed to enter all other activities with commendable spirit and energy, and we feel sure that you will bring to our school honor in this field as well. May you gain as much pleasure and profit in the publication of the Olive and Goldu as have the Seniors of '14, HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. There would be no pleasure in publishing this magazine unless somewhere within it especial credit be given to the one whose resourcefulness, wisdom, and self-sacrificing spirit of helpfulness have given to this book a finish which would otherwise be sadly lacking. Remember, readers, as youturn these pages, that the success of our efforts is due entirely to our critic, friend, and inspiration- Mrs. Jane Carroll Byrd. VALEDICTORY. Our four years are almost over-:tour joyous years of opportunity. And what have We gained from them? Ah! that is hard to express. As we look back, it seems that from the busy days of our Freshman and Sophomore years, from the influence of Miss Southwiek 's personality as we felt it in Junior English, from the song practices and Junior Farce with Miss Dimmick, from the character- building lessons of Mr. Robertson 's History 12, from the spiritual uplift of Senior English, from the invaluable work on the Senior Play, and f'rom the work on this magazine, we shall take with us one main thought-the thought that is summed up in our class motto: Non Sibi Sed Omnibus. Through all these experiences and through theflives of our teachers, we have learned that, to reach the highest plane of noble manhood and strong, sweet womanhood, wemust live not for self, but for all. As we go forth with the higher ideals and purposes which our school has given to us, may me leave some imprint upon it, some influ- ence for good, that shall strengthen future classes. From '14 comes: Fare- well!

10 OLIVE AND GOLD and the old songs that every one should know. We certainly appreciate Miss Overman's effort to develop the musical side of our school, and hope that next year these regular song assemblies will continue throughout the year. Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Armstrong, is one of the things of which we are justly proud. It has advanced steadily throughout the year, and has rendered signal service at school plays, debates, dances, moving-picture shows, and assemblies. We wish publicly to thank Mr. Armstrong and the orchestra for their generosity, and good spirit. COMMENCEMENT WEEK. Not merely for a change, but as a satisfactory settlement of difficulties which arise each year, the Seniors of '14 have departed from custom in regard to Com- mencement week. As there are so many denominations represented in the class, it seemed desirable that the Baccalaureate sermon be as non-sectarian as possible. With this end in view, it has been decided to hold the Baccalaureate Services in the Assembly Hall of the High School building, at three o'clock in the afternoon, instead of eleven o'clock in the morning as in previous years. This change was made for the convenience of those who dislike to miss the morning services of their own churches. ALUMNI!
