F oreword Every year the editors of The Portal search for some under¬ lying ' ' motif ' ' that they may use as the seed from which their finished production must grow. Having passed through the widespread celebration of Connecticut ' s Tercentenary, it was not strange that we selected as a theme an interpretation of modern school life with particular emphasis upon both curricula and extra-curricula activities. The unusual sectional pages which make this edition so pleasing were designed by the Art Depart¬ ment with this purpose in mind. The true test of the popularity and merit of this book will not wholly be determined at the present reception it finds, but at the reception accorded it a decade hence when the reader fondly turns its leaves and rejoices in the memories of his class. The editors gratefully acknowledge the invaluable assistance of their advisers, Mr. Larrabee and Mr. Cunningham, the former our literary inspiration and the latter our business guide, in compiling the 1936A Portal.
