As each volume of the GLEAM nears completion, the staff meets and gives care- ful consideration to every name on a list of faculty members who are thought to be the most eligible at that time to receive the yearbookis dedication. Length and quality of service, Willingness to participate in extra-curricular activities, personality traits, and the love and respect accorded the indi- vidual, are pointers that lead to decision. Secret balloting follows, and it is not until GLEAM Day, with its ceremonies in as- sembly, that anyone except those who counted the ballots, knows who was chosen for this special recognition. So it is that now, for the first time, public announcement is being made of the fact that this yearis honoree is one whose gentility and dignity have brought her admiration and respect, Whose sincerity and consci- entiousness have gained for her friends and supporters, Whose ideals and standards have given her the name Christianv, c'Prized Friendv, K'Good Teacherv, and Whose professionalism and excellent health have made her an outstanding educator throughout 49' years of dedicated service. It is with gratitude for all that she has done, and with love for her and for all that she is, that the GLEAM, for a second time C She also received this compliment in 19492 is dedicated to iss Edna Hope Miss Edna Hope fabovel, at left, Miss Hope with her niece, Susan, views a Weathervane salvaged from the Clifford Seminary of Union, a school she fondly remembers as the scene of her early aca- demic pursuits, right, at her classroom desk, Miss Hope checks the Work of one of her Latin students.
