n u Black and white printed words . . . unitorni, unassuming words ... yet in their entirety they cradle a personality so genuine, so outstanding, so completely essential to the continuance of the high standards of Ward-Belmont that it is only right the 1948 Mile.stones be dedicated to her. Small kindnesses, small courtesies, small considerations are habitually prac- ticed in her daily life, giving her greater charm than display of great talents and accomplishments could ever produce. This, then, is her creed . . . for, as she sits quietly behind her spacious desk, her wise blue eyes intent on your face, you feel her deeply sincere interest in you, your life, your interests, and your mis- fortunes. You know that she is for you . . . that she is your friend. Still the capacious print extends hungrily over the smooth white remainder of this page. It reads how her friendship and unfailing loyalty extend outside her comfortable office. High cheekbones, lustrous skin, springy, waving hair, tet off by a royal blue dress, she stands amid a group of excited young belles at a social affair. Or habitually removing and replacing her glasses, she announces her irrevocable decisions in Tuesday chapels, with her please mam and remarkable sense of humor placing her even higher in the estimation of the students. But whether joyfully discussing the latest New York plays, literature, and music, or asserting her intelligent, reasonable authority over the students, you are still aware of her capability, self-reliance, and keen interest in your welfare. She is an inseparable part of Ward-Belmont. The pattern of printed words pause now . . . wait . . . then gives vent to one final thought as the bottom of this dedication paL;e is reached. It suddenly whispers that a melodious, softly Southern voice can worthily say: live for those who love me. For those who know me true, For the heaven that bends above me, And the good that I can do; For the wrongs that need resistance, For the cause that lacks assistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that I can do. It is the voice of Miss Martha Ordway
