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.

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.
