With its faculty of earnest, scholarly, cheerful, kindly women, it is the realization of one who founded it. In such naturally beautiful sur- roundings, in an atmosphere of Quiet dignity and charming simplicity, full of cheerfulness, thoughtful- ness and friendly personal interest there is no place for pretense or petty discord. It is a place where beautiful thoughts come easily and high ideals are developed. It is a fitting environment for the natural and healthy unfoldingof sweet girlhood into refined, fsultured and happy young womanhood. Its charac- teristic atmosphere is such as to instill, in material at all susceptible, a spirit of democracy, kindly thoughtfulness, generosity and good sportsmanship in its highest sense, which is splendid equipment for life-long happiness. Should it then be surprising if paternal pruie and happiness on Commencement Day is touched with something more than a mere regret that the days at Sunset Hill School are ended? JOHN A.
