IIIIIIATI SomeTirnes Teachers are Tound who are more Than mere erudiTe dispensers of book-learning: who are sincerely in- TeresTed in more Than The formally educaTional side aT a pupil's growTh To maTuriTyg who, Through Their undersfand- ing and sympaTheTic aTTiTude Toward a sTudenT, and Through Their genuinely democraTic relaTionship to him, can help him To solve many aT his problems and can help him over many oT his diTTiculTies. Such a Triend is Miss Herrmann. lT is saTe To say ThaT no oTher Teacher in This school comes inTo conTacT, di- recTly or indirecTly, with so many sTudenTs, or exerTs so powerTul an influence on The aTTairs oT The sTudenT body as Miss Herrmann does. Her umflagging inTeresT in The poliTical life oT The school, Through The agencies oT The STudenT Council, oT The Advisory Cabinet and oT The CommuniTy Service CommiTTee, has been oT The greaTesT value To The well-being oT our exTra-curricular acTiviTies. YeT her greaTesT inTluence Tor our good is probably ThaT exercised in her English classes. Here, in an aTmosphere oT calm inquiry and cool debaTe, she has broughT ouT The besT ThaT is in us, and has implanTed The True spiriT oT lib- eralism and oT Tair open-mindedness in us. She has made scholarship a living, aTTracTive source of pleasure and profit. The inTormal, kindly advice which we seelc and do noT always Tind she has made one oT The TacTors which draws her pupils mosT sTrongly To her, as is evinced by The number of graduaTes who come back To pay her a visiT. She is one oT The very sTrongesT inTluences Tor common sense, honesTy, and Tairness in our school. So we dedi- caTe This issue OT The TOP To our Teacher and Triend, our guide and helper, Miss Herrmann. 4
