PURPLE AND WHITE ECHO In attempting to meet with the new trend in high school yearbooks, that is, having the yearbook represent the school rather than the seniors — we have been faced with sundry trials and tribulations, and out of them has emerged this book. It is our contention that by putting greater emphasis on pictures we can best present to you Smith Academy — our ac- tivities, our surroundings, our classrooms. We hope that in this small way we can preserve in our memory our cherished high school days. With grateful appre- ciation to those who have helped us, es- pecially to our advisor, Mr. Cassidy, allow us to offer you this 1949 FURPLE AND WHITE ECHO. flfru lijj m K
