This is something like—we hope it is—a delicious cake that the girls in Miss Foster’s cooking class are stirring up . . . The popular Mr. Lower explaining one of those fetching specimens that he keeps to lure unsuspecting sophomores along the road to knowledge ... A group in the library looking more than usually studious . . . There’s probably a comic book hidden under those books somewhere . . . U.D.’s spacious study hall with its leather- upholstered seats and splendid lighting system.

The class of 1946 wishes to pay tribute to our school superintendent, John H. Tyson. Mr. Tyson has shown his skillful leadership as principal for twenty-four years, and his careful guidance as the superintendent of schools for the past three years. He has been active in educational societies, has shown a great interest in our com- munity life, and has endeavored to make our schools the best. We have great admiration for Mr. Tyson s fine judgment, his keen interest in all of our school activities, and his helpful advice in our athletic program. His faithful service and his concern for our welfare have won the deepest respect and friendship of both students and faculty. SixJroJ
