aww, we ' Master james Walker is Westtown to its students, faculty, and friends, from the moment they come into contact with the school. First impressions for most of us are his signatures on friendly letters to prospective students and his way of always finding time to take visitors on tours of the campus personally. The more we know of the school, the more we see his influence working, in ways quiet and unobtrusive, and not often even noticeable, to keep our standards high and our spirit one of co-operation, com- radeship, and faith. Westtown is fortunate indeed to have a head- master so tolerant and understanding as its guide through these years of uncertainty and change. Teacher Rachel, our small but powerful Girls' Dean, is re- nowned for her Scotch Plaid wit and tactful persuasiveness, as she invites students to attend Meeting and joint Collection. Her job is a hard one, for we often fail to realize that our rules and regulations are for our own benefit. But she offers valid rea- sons for all the rules that exist and is always ready to change them when she is convinced that it is for the better. Her personal interest in each girl is greatly appreciated, as is her kind guid- ance in helping us to develop into better citizens of Westtown and the world. Master Bob English has won the respect and affection of Boys' End with his capable and enlightened administration of the difli- cult duties of Boys' Dean. His ready grin, which is very seldom hardened by his official capacity, is a fixture on the dorm, while his barnyard anecdotes and natural sense of humor keep things lively when morale falls low. Many will remember him best for the frequent bull sessions he conducted to bring greater understanding to any who wished to take part. His liberal outlook, however, is what perhaps brings him closest to the boys, who admire and ap- preciate his efforts to make helpful improvements.

We complained at the rulesg we were heard out. We asked for better thingsg we were given them. And through all the petty difficulties we have found in our teachers understanding, comradeship and inspiration. l
