times students who go to a small school and graduate have a feeling that they ean't do anything of im- portance because there are so many city-school graduates. The handi- cap of being trained in a small school is more imaginary than real. Many of our most successful men and womer have been graduates of small schools Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coelldae, WOO1WOluH, Di. Ann Howard Shaw, and lerbelt ioevtr receivet nest oi tweil education in country seieols In politic , busiue s, ant tae professions we find countless men and women who wewe etucated it countiy school lee following ale Juob a low stu dents from Walker who nave done very well since leavine euf little school Caarles B Howes, '55, nageied in a correseontence course at Oxford Institute, CHICHSO, Tllinois H has leeertl graduated ans receiveo his diploma Waldo Cates, '55 Joiner the Navy soor after g aeua tion, is beer promoted many times, and is now ir Hazen Hannan, June from tie Orono, where year coulse in Chemical ngineering Arnolc Clark, University of teuvse ii Civil ngineering June Wyman, '58, is training in the dai e Jenelal dospwt l, Portland, where she ha been one of tit higlcst raiking stude ts.

Our graduates should remember that they can get ahead even from a small school if they have the will power. There are many positions open for graduates, and students from our small schools will he just as well able te fill their places as are stuoents from large city schools After all, it is not the site of the school that counts, but the ambition and determination of the individual Arabelle Nillay, '40 Our Faculty As in most schools, those who the most and iave our best in terests at heart, are those who receive the least credit The success of any school depends upon the supelvision and interest of the faculty members. Even though teachers change from year to year, each one offers his or her own personal service where ever it is needed, thereby leav ing with the pupils a lasting impiessien of good service roi three years, we, who are Stniels, have profited under the urwncipalship of Donald Christie. Ne realize that thc duties ol a high school principal cover a large ficlo and Je also realize twat it isnlt easy to meet all the problems whici are bound to ai Ise ir tie av rage high school However, we all agref that witho Mr Christie's ielo, fe could never have acivevrd our present goal We regret that this is Mr Christ1e's last year vitn us, hi leader nie and aoilities will be missel leverth les , we wish him sfcccs in ll' he oositien.
