The Long Walk . . . cutting through the trees and up the hill to Richardson, the sturdy old pile so well-loved by all Laurentiaus.

Qt Fonmwonn To the Class of 19-40 Memories are inclined to slip away with the years. Names are forgotten, anonymous faces fade slowly into oblivion. For this sad, but admittedly valid reason, the class of 1941 feels justified in presenting to you some means, however inadequate, of attaching the names to those faces-of keeping alive the happiness you knew here . . . We hope that as you leaf through this book twenty-five or thirty years from now, each page will bring back some forgotten incident, making your college life seem real again . . . Here is St. Lawrence, 1940.

WED lllCA'l'll . . . The 1940 Gridiron to Margaret Turner Ryan, for ten years director of Dean-Eaton Hall, and one of the best-known people on the St. Lawrence campus. There is no girl, and hardly a boy in school who has not come under the influence of this shrewd, but kindly person- ality . . . Mrs. Ryan's memory for people, places, and events is prodigious. She has an inexhaustible supply of anecdotes about almost everyone she has ever known. Broadly sympathetic, she has particularly an infinite capacity for understanding the problems of youth, for a youthful spirit pervades everything she does. She observes, reflects, and acts with rare equity. . . . We take this way to show our appreciation of the unfailing twinkle in her eye, and of the tranquility always to be found in the small ofiice to the right of the stairs in Dean-Eaton Hall.
