Dedication D EI) I GATING a book to someone who is beloved and respected by the authors makes even more necessary the task of making the production worthy to be given to the individual whose inspiration has contributed so much to the book’s ultimate success. The four years that we have known Miss Roe have served to make more desirable the attainment of that gracious and sympathetic manner of which she is so excellent an example ; they have strengthened our admiration for her as a person because of her friendly championship of all our student activities; they have deepened our appreciation for that un- selfish cooperation which characterizes all of her efforts in our behalf. Because she deserves only the best that we can give, we are glad to dedicate this, our best and final gift to the person, who, more than anyone else, has helped us to make our Yearbook in some measure worthy of her; we therefore dedicate this, the 1936 issue of The Oak Leaf to Miss Annabel C. Roe

To Dr. Lawrence A. Averill OuR intimate classroom association has taught us to respect him as a teacher. In watching him take his rank among educators and authors we have learned to admire him as a scholar. And while we still extend to him that whole- hearted admiration and respect of which only youth is capable, still, it is as we have seen him as one of us, working to help us straighten out the many difficulties which at times seem unsur mountable to amateur publishers, that we have come to give him our deepest appreciation as a friend and counsellor. Since it, was our privilege to select our own faculty ad- viser, we know that Dr. Averill can. have no doubt that we chose him because ive wanted his guidance. His willing cooperation has made us believe that he accepted because he wanted to work with us. The happy relationship which has existed between our staff and our faculty adviser has been an important factor in making a difficult task a truly joyous undertak ing.
