The purpose of a yearbook is two-fold: to provide a record of the year's activities for the students' present and future enjoyment, and to serve as a means py which the educational zone can come to know their school. We of the staff have tried to maintain a balance between the two in the make-up of the '47 ARROW. The task of publishing an annual would be an impossibility without the co~ operation of both student body and faculty. To our president for his advice; to our sponsors for their sympathetic understanding; to the professors for their patience as we've disr,u pted class schedules; to the students for their co-operation; and to the Staff, I want to express my sincere thanks. Problems, perplexities and discouragements have come, but the consciousness of God's presence and the knowledge that you were supporting us has given strength to complete the job. We hope that you will feel repaid for all inconvenience as you look at the finished book. We have tried to give you an annual you will enjoy and one which you will be proud to show your friends as representative of our school. If we have succeeded in any measure, we shall feel amply rewarded for our work. Bob Troutman Editor
