JHaru Btsabeth Drake TO MARY DRAKE A FRIEND The finest thing in all the world Is not the sun ' s warm light. Tis not the day ' s soft splendor, Nor the witchery of night: Tis neither wealth nor fame, Nor the glamour these can lend. Tis but the joy of having An understanding friend. Mary, we dedicate this Year Book to you, a loyal and well-loved classmate, as a sincere tribute to your winning personality, your fine sense of humor and your unfaih ing cheerfulness. Your strong courage and firm determination have won our lasting admiration and have been for all of us a source of inspiration during our high school course. May the future bring to you the happiness and contentment we all wish for you.

Foreword SMITH ACADEMY The rambling structure, the red-brick wall, The ivy climbing over all. The fiat green lawn, the familiar old walk And on the side lawn, that old gray rock. Familiar landmarks on each golden day That we ' ll think of fondly when we ' re far away. Hallways overflowing with girls and boys, Sharing together all of life ' s joys. The books we ' ve studied night after night, Trying to make tomorrow ' s lesson right. The teachers ' voices as they patiently explain And clear up any doubts that still remain. All these things, so precious and dear, Little memories from year to year, Engraved forever in our hearts, Remain part of school life, now that new life starts. EVELYN SZEWCZYK ' 46.
