To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to seek, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war, and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-16

DEDICA TION THIRTY-FOUR years ago Great Neck was a little country town with dirt streets and a high school at 35 Polo Road. In that school's Room 108 there was a new occupant, George Noyes—one whom it would not lose for many years. Many things have changed in this town, but Mr. Noyes is still in Room 108 with his same vitality, ready smile, and quick laugh. It is to this man that Great Neck must now bid a sad farewell. Originally, Mr. Noyes had planned to be a forester. Instead he worked his way through Dartmouth, taking all available botany and zoology courses. Upon graduation, his first job was principal at Dennis High School in Dennis, Massachusetts. Adminis- trative work, however, did not appeal to him; teaching had a vast appeal. For the next three years he taught at Blair Academy, on Cape Cod, after which he came to Great Neck in 1930 to teach English. About this time biology was moved from the ninth grade to the tenth grade Regents level. With a strong college background in this subject, Mr. Noyes volunteered to teach the course. He has continued to teach biology for thirty-three years or to approximately 4,000 students. It can truly be said that Mr. Noyes has always enjoyed teaching. There were very few times when I didn't go to school wanting to go to school,” he has often remarked. Agassiz, the oldest club in the school, was organized by him with one of its purposes as explained by its founder to allow people to stay after school for the fun of it. He feels modern transportation has been a deterrent to the club. People don't like to walk anymore, not even to and from school, he explained with a re- morseful smile. A teacher who has taught for the long time Mr. Noyes has develops his own particular method of teaching. When asked about this, Mr. Noyes replied, If you like teaching, you develop a method suitable to your personality.” The popularity of this man's particular style lies in the constant hustle and bustle in the biology room, and the steady stream of people who come in just to say hello to a teacher and a friend. For the inspiration to his students and for the years of unselfish devotion to the teaching profession, Mr. George Noyes will be long remembered at Great Neck North. As he retires in Vermont all of us wish him health and happiness for many years to come.
