DEDICATED TO Miss Jacquelyn Douglas We would like to show our appreciation to one who has given her time unselfishly in publishing the Blue Devil, who has guided and inspired this year's editor and previous editors through many difficult situations, without whose help we would never have suc- ceeded. We, the Senior Class of 1953, lov- ingly dedicate this Blue Devil to MISS JAC- QUELYN DOUGLAS. 3

'Through This Door” Freshmen came we to this door. And of knowledge being poor. Entered in and hoped to find The key of light to fit our mind. Day by day we came to know, Just how dear a school could grow. For ’twas not just our minds enlightened, But our whole outlook was brightened. We laughed and studied, sang and played, And through it undying friendships made. We loved our teachers, kind and stern. They gave their all that we might learn. They were our guide as we began To build our lives and take our stand. Each step we climbed with great desire, But time has come for something higher. And as we leave, both sad and proud, In our hearts is ringing loud.......... St. John’s, dear Alma Mater, Beloved e’en from childhood days. Distance can ne’er divide us, Nor time dull our loyal praise.” We’d like to leave a thought we’ve chose That this great door may never close! --Ann Boatwright
