Our Superintendent W. F. Hoerner, A. B., M. A. Earlham College Columbia University Miami University University of Cincinnati The theme of Beauty chosen by the Annual Staff is a very appropriate one. Beauty is to be found in every path of life, even in the most common places, by those who take time to look for it. Too many people, in the struggle to match their talents against the talents of others, fail to consider that there can be beauty in thoughts and in expressions as well as in outward appearances. May the members of the Senior Class remember to pause, now and then, to consider this more complete conception of beauty in their various new situations. It is also hoped that the members of this Senior Class will not expect the world to accept them as prodigies and geniuses, but that they will prove themselves capable of following a well-balanced program of life, relegating to the proper proportions the physical, the intellectual, and the spiritual aspects. A person can not be happy if he chooses to over-emphasize one of these phases to the detriment of the other two. Peace is the reward of the individual who successfully combines these three, and peace is beauty. Page Ten

Someone has said. What’s in a name?” A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. However, the fact remains that the scope of one’s experience and each object possesses characteristics and a history which differentiates it from all others. Although all schools are founded with the same purpose in view, they differ greatly in many ways and are given different ratings by state officials, by colleges, and by their own communities. Graduates of Versailles School add a good name to their educational record. It is the name of a school which is recognized by state officials as one of first grade.
