Vice Pl'fIll'ilIlI, To our vice-principal, Mrs. Frances C. Bell, friend of all students, we give our everlasting affection. She leaves us with this message. Mlfach year it is with a feeling of lioth joy and sorrow that l witness the graduation exercisesvjoy, lieeause you as seniors have attained your first major olijective-sorrow, hecause I shall know you no more in the intimate relationship of school life. There is also a feeling of regret and frustration that we as adults are sending you forth into a world that seems to have forgotten the tenets of the Colden Rule. So I would recommend to you for future meditation the immortal words of Ralilii Ben Ezra Qlirowningj 'Then welcome each reliuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that lmids nor sit nor stand But gol Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the straing Learn, nor account the pangg Dare, never grudge the throel' M MRS. FRANCES C. BELL
