. . AND INTRODUCING A FRIEND I'm really proud that such a famous man came all the way from Stratford- on-Avon to visit Summit just because he couldn't believe all the wonderful things he had heard about it. He was so old-fashioned - I certainly don't believe that the English could all be like that. As I showed him around the school he said such utterly queer things when he was surprised that I quickly jotted them down so that I wouldn't forget. He was so enthusiastic and he really entered into all of our school activities. Because I wished so much that you could have been there, our tour of the school has been reprinted on the following pages. You will see pictures of the two of us as we went through the school and will find his carefully preserved remarks written in italics and between quotation marks. Although he has already returned to England, I would like to introduce to you our famed and honored friend, William Shakespeare! Come on, the tour is starting! el is f'1 '2'v.3' o' -.ff I, YN li Ali? o Sgt f - f 515,11 4,-:lf4! ff Q5

It gives necessary training in basic skills and provides opportunity for creative work and appreciation of the arts. It offers a program which will develop each individual according to her interests, needs, and aptitudes and which, at the secondary level, will prepare her for college work. Each student is offered experience which will help her develop her relationship to her own group and to society as a whole. The school trains for democracy by giving constant practice of its principles. The girls assume responsibility in all phases of school life and learn the importance of becom- ing intelligent followers as well as good leaders. It is hoped that students will go out with trained body, mind, and char- acter, and with some cultural and spiritual resources, a desire for continued education, and a sense of personal responsibility to society.

ETHEL PEASE The Senior Class feels that the dedication of the Flame is the highest tribute that can be paid to someone connected with Summit. Although several are qualified for this honor, there is one who stands out clearly from the rest. She is one who has made a name for herself since she has been at Summit. Enthusiasm plus, friendliness, initiative, and a real sense of fun have always attracted people to her. As people get to know her, they discover that she is more than enthusiasm and fun, she is efficiency, dependability, and unselfishness. She is ability, fairness, and understanding. She is a part of Summit that will not be forgotten, for she has given and is still giving of herself to it. Finally, because she is a wonderful friend to all of us, the Senior Class dedicates their Flame to Miss Pease.
