— Pats Page four Migs Wheaton is honored to dedicate Nzke 1955 to Miss Work. During her thirty years in the community, her knowledge, friend- liness and spirit have won the respect and love of everyone who has known her. Officially she is head of the Classics Department, but to most of us she is the attractive woman we see walking across campus between classes or sitting in on a lecture concerning almost any subject. Miss Work has a lively appreciation for music, English and many other subjects in addition to her spe- cialized field which includes the accumulation of a fine col lection of ancient coins. During her absences from Norton, Miss Work has traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe, particularly in England, Italy and Greece where she has made some archeo- logical studies. In addition to her travels, she has been the author of a number of distinguished articles concerning Classics. Miss Work’s versatile personality has transmitted the spark of curiosity and brought inspiration to all of the young women who have been her pupils. She, like Hebe, the Goddess of Youth, has borne the cup of knowledge to all who have sought to drink its richness. It is with deepest a ppreciation that we thank you, Miss Work, for your devoted years at our college. May we wish you success in whatever plans you choose for your future. Wheaton will always remember you.

Page six With pride in our college’s history of one hundred and twenty years, we look to President Meneely as yet another founder who is fulfilling our tradition of progress. Dr. Meneely is looking ahead to the needs and welfare of the whole college community, and he is helping us to prepare our- selves as well as our school for what lies ahead by rejecting narrowing scopes of thought, and thereby keeping all roads open. We are proud of our campus face-lifting: the new tennis courts, the infirmary, the Shepard Court apartments, and the faculty-staff dining room and lounge, all of which have occurred during his term of office. These are evidences that the foundation has been built upon and will be built upon again. An early founder represents more than the mere means of attaining these ends; he is strength of spirit with an open mind. This is what has made us flourish in the past and what will give us confidence for the years to come. Since Dr. Meneely’s inauguration in 1944, Wheaton has continued to grow in spirit as well as in body. Because we have an intangible assurance that our president is ever looking ahead to the expanding future, we hail President Meneely as an early founder.
