To MISS AGNES GINN In Recognition of Her Loyalty For the Past Three Years We Dedicate this Thirteenth Issue of THE MUSSUL UNSQUI1- This year, as last, we are using linolenm block prints in the HMUSSUL UNsQU1T . But this year 'we have centered the designs about the theme of Scott's famous historical novel, Ivanhoe . Each heading depicts some incident of importance and interest in the story. The cover is a gateway which must be swung open to admit knights to the castle's vari- ous departments. We hope the idea serves to arouse memories of the glory, adventure, and chivalry of the Norman-Saxon period.

His life lied fast from him, and when he reached the wall of Death, those beautiful words came back as clear as the example he had set and reverberated in the hearts of many, Al- ways faithfulf' So may it be!

With the beginning of school last Sep- tember came the announcement that a com- plete unit of work consisting of four years of regular English, four years of practical mathematics or business preparatory sub- jects, four years of natural science, and four years of social science was open to the local boys and girls who did not wish to take the usual college preparatory work. This part of the course of studies was be- gun in an experimental way several years ago in answer to a long-felt need for high school studies of a more practical nature that would more definitely help students to prepare for their later life as citizens.
