Not of the sunlight, Not of the moonlight, Not of the starlight, O' young mariner, Down to the haven, Call your companions, Launch your vessel And crowd your canvas, And, ere it vanishes, O'er the margin After it, follow it, Follow the GLEAMY Alfred Tennyson. s Life's voyage is beset by storms. Dangerous reefs and perilous seas lie in its course, but beyond the wide horizon are still waters and safe port. Ever receding, ever beckoning, is the gleam by which the course is charted, Mariners on these Waters follow the gleam and in their wake come other voyageurs. How necessary then that their courage be great, their hopes high, their course true. How fortunate for later mariners if the voyage be well charted. To Chrisman's mariners, Whose voyage now has ended and Whose ships are anchored in safe havens, to Chrisman's followers of the Gleamf' We give this book in loving dedica- tion. 4

5 Mr. W. E. Matthews Four members of the faculty and staff personnel of William Chrisman have died in the past year. Superintendent W. E. Matthews, whose administration was marked by its long- range policies and the maintenance of maximum school efficiency, departed this life at the beginning of his ninth year in the Independence School System. Miss Emina Hill, who taught Iunior English and Senior Literature, and whose enthusias- tic and inspiring sponsorship is missed by the Art Club and the Art Honor Society, had been in the Independence School System for almost forty years. I Miss Frances Kreeger, who had been in the Independence system for a score of years, and who taught mathematics in William Chrisman for almost nine years, was co-sponsor of the As-You-Like-It Dramatic Society and is remembered for her smiling face and lovely man- ner. Mrs. Mae De Schazo, who had, for almost a quarter century, been in charge of the at- tendance records, passed away near the middle of the term after a long illness. These are remembered for their inspiring guidance, and for their beneficent influence on our lives. 5
