 A S EACH term approachesyjts inevitable end, the moment arrives when once again old ties must be broken. One class must leave to make way for another, younger group. Do not think that because you are so quickly replaced you are as quickly forgotten. Each one of you leaves something of himself—perhaps your name engraved on the Activity Cup, perhaps engraved on our memory, perhaps only carved on top of your reg. room desk—but something which helps to make the school what it is— much good, a little not so good—but something to remember always as be- longing to the happiest most carefree period of your life. P R N C P A L Those of us who remain here after you, wish you well. We realize that on you and on all young people rest the responsibilities of a very complex world. We have faith in you and believe that these years with us have not been wasted. Stephen E. Smith
