Foreword. POUR years ago, a South I ligh boy was appointed a cadet at Annapolis. 1 l.ast year he stood highest in his class of 1S9. I lc graduates in June, second in rank. I le is one of the many fine fellows I have known who have been enthusiastic for the Orange ami Black. I le always returns when he can to South, to renew acquaintanceship, remembering with appreciation and affection the place where he received part of his education—an admirable trait in former students, bespeaking a nature loyal and patriotic. This is as it should be. ()ur education should intensify patriotism. Loyalty for a home institution means the upholding of the interests and honor of the larger institution—the State. I like the appearance of the youth. I lis training has not made him haughty nor is he humble. I le is just right: for he shows evidence of self-respect combined with thoughtfulness for others,—qualities which make for the earnest, manly fellow one likes to tie to. We have hundreds of this type at South. They are going out into various communities. They will take up the humdrum duties of every day life, and perform them well. They will be good providers; they will be upright in their dealings,—their word as good as a bond. To them the less fortunate will turn for protection. Wherever they are they will be trusted. Such is my confidence in the youth at South. You have often expressed your admiration for the teacher to whom you have dedicated your annual, with good reason. There is a story told that a lady’s guest at an afternoon tea was unfortunate enough to break a cup of great value; immediately, as if by accident, the hostess’ hand trembled, twitched, and a priceless mate of the first fell to the Hoor. She turned to her friend with a smile and remarked, “1 low slippery and impossible these cups are! 1 laven’t you heard Miss Fish use those very wordst Can you not understand her popularity? Self is lost, your comfort and happiness arc uppermost in her consciousness. Josi.ni JOKCiKNS.
