THE FACULTY T is platitudinous to say that a grcat deal of permanent influence is exerted by the faculty upon those students with whom they come in contact. Qftentimes, however, we fail to appreciate this fact, if we recognize it'. Every experience has its effects upon our personalities, and we have had many rich and varied experi- ences' with faculty acquaintances. During our years at the Academy we have supposedly learned something, and it is safe to say that no one is -to blame but the faculty. Perhaps someday we shall be grateful for their services. Considering the peculiar characteristics of the graduating class, the faculty deserves special commendation for withstanding the pressure of its exuberant spirits. fln all other classes, of course, there was little agitationj The daily tussles with weighty tomes were not half so severe, or so much fun, as those with teachers. Do you remember, you of the Upper School, those all too infrequent days in Mr. Pike's English class when we were lulled from the tedious intellectual battles of the day to the point of relaxation by his gentle readings from eighteenth century melodrama? And the precise, efficient hours spent in learning French with Mr. Sharp? Or the German periods, a bit baffling at first, even more so later on, under the watchful eye of Mr. Lindsey? And certainly you can't forget the days of violent epithets in Mr. Midgley's History, the indelible impressions -that the intric- acies of Mathematics made upon your minds through Messrs. Webber, Rodney and Meislahn. All this not to mention the fascinating times spent recuperating from the ascent to Lab, Mr. Holmes and Mr. Fullaytor, and enjoying 'the absorbing talks with Mr. Colton while declining a verb fwhich can't be done-Ed.j. For both Upper and Middle Schools, the healthful and vigorous athletic periods with Coaches Morris, Townsend and Sabisch need not be remembered for they will be felt. K Do you remember, too, Middle Scholars, your expert supervision by Miss Kermeth, Mr. Easton's discipline, playful hours with Mr. Warner cutting up wood, Mr. Fullaytor and his rugged manner, and the 60-yard dash to Mr, Totten's room? Such memories will be cherished for a long time. But in the accomplishment of their true purpose, giving us the fundamentals of an education, the faculty will always be a part of our daily lives to the degree in which they were successful. For that we can only say a heartfelt Thanks,'. CC .9 D
