The educational policies, as evolved by the combined thinking of tliesf three leaders, so interested in the future ot' nur School, our Country, and our World, are the building blocks by which the character oi' the students is constructed. Any educator is ter- tunate, in that he has many pliable young minds with which to work. Although it may seem at times to be an unrewardefl labor, as far as material things are concerned, it seems to us, from personal observation, that our leaders derive a great deal of spiritual satis- faction from the work they do in connection with the growth and development ot our young people. They plan their work well. Much of this work is not visible to the ordinary lay- man's view, but constant vigilance is required to keep abreast ot' new methods of education, or maintaining a proper balance between theory and actual application of learning prin- ciples. There are no regular hours for Dr. Rice, Miss Waddell and Mr. Paynter. They do not limit themselves to building only an aca- demic structure, but loyally support every play, sport, or musical activity that is placed on the annual agenda. We may sometimes casually pass them, without even saying Hello , as we are so accustomed to having them there when we need them. We feel that we should like to tell them now, so they will not forget, how deeply grateful we are for their guidance.

E D INISTRATIO S To our own personal principal, Mr. Jor- dan, is entrusted the great project of helping to build futu1'e generations of Americans. We feel that his philosophy for the ad- ministration of the school and the guidance of the students is Well illustrated in an excerpt from a poem entitled How Did You Die? by Edmund Vance Cooke. MDM you ZLUf'lCfl' that trouble that mmm' your way With fl 7'f'H0lZ,lILf' lzcurt and C'h!'f'l'-fill?

Mr. Jordan is to be commended for in- stilling in the students the knowledge that there are many honorable ways in which to achieve their goals, and it is to him that the class of 51 gives its thanks and best wishes.
