'Tuardian tinge! She has been an inspiration to us by her every word and deed. In her classes, we constantly henefit from her unending knowledge and the interest she awakens in us to explore the new and value the old.

THE Pllllllllllllll Dear Members of the Class of 1955, As you approach graduation from the Win- chester-Thurston School it is a pleasure, I assure you, to be the messenger of congratula- tions and good wishes from every member of the Board of Trustees. This Board might well be called the Produ- cer, and Dr. Mary Graham Mitchell and Alice M, Thurston the authors. It was their combined vision, their courage, their faith in an educational idea that has created the school of today. The Trustees are engaged enthusias- tically in developing the superstructure on en- during foundations laid more than sixty years ago. There has always been something exciting for me about the word Trustee . It embodies such precious virtues - reliability, integrity, service. So I am proud to be a Trustee of your school and to serve as one of thirty, chosen to produce the best possible preparatory school for girls who wish to qualify for col- lege. It is our responsibility to produce the phys- ical plant, the buildings and adequate equip- ment for every department. First thought, how- ever, is given to faculty, curriculum and those matters pertaining to academic strength which will help train young women of superior char- acter to take their places of leadership in a tempestuous World. Our shibboleth was sung by the Psalmist ages ago, uthat our daughters may be as corner stones polished after the similitude of a palacefi Serving as a Trustee has been an enriching experience. I sincerely hope that through the years to come, some of the Class of 1955 with love and loyalty to their Alma Mater will be privileged to enjoy this same experience of helping Winchester-Thurston maintain its high place in the galaxy of girls' schools.
