day after day, week after week, month after month help of the entire student body they can win this fight and preserve the honor of the school to stand for all the years to come as an example of what can be accom- plished by boys who really love and revere their school.

Honor is a very delicate plant. Properly nurtured and constantly cared for, it can grow into a thing of beauty and joy and profit to its proud possessor. But like all delicate things it is easy to blight honor and to de- stroy it utterly. One slight mistake, and the careful husbandry of months and yeors is set at nought.
The three boys whose pictures ap- pear on the front cover are the chief cultivators and husbandmen of the honor of the Virginia Episcopal School. Without the assistance of the other ninety odd boys they can do little to shield the honor of the school from the cold blasts of petty cheat- ing, from the chinch worn1~ of littfe lies, from all the other small attackers of the honor system which in the end can make it wilt and die. With the
future .
