Thousands of programs, tickets, and Zodiacs have been created under the direction of retiring printing teacher, Mr. Herbert Cigard. After forty-two years in the teaching profession, thirty-eight of which are in the Lansing system, Mr. Cigard will leave his long- time friends and acquaintances at Sexton. His contributions to the athletic, music, and drama departments have been invaluable, his efficiency excellent, and his products of highest quality. Masonic orders, as well as professional societies, have interested Mr. Cigard. He is a charter member of the Lansing Club of Print- ing House Craftsmen and a past president of the Michigan Indus- trial Education Society, Inc. Throughout his teaching career, it has been a great iob to Mr. Cigard to find his former students successful in the business he loves so dearly-printing. An unusual pastime of Mr. Cigard is collecting book plates. His collection includes plates from all overthe world as well as many of his own design. Retirement years will be spent with his friends, family, and his hobbies. Mr. Cigard plans to travel in the Michigan area, and to enioy a bit of fishing. HERBERT CIGARD Familiar people smile goodbyes 'II was always building things...always creating. So states Mr. Howard Thompson, retiring trade teacher, who came into the profession through his natural interest in mechanics and building. After originally planning a career in the medical profession, Mr. Thompson's decision to teach required him to earn his B. A. in trade and industry at Northwestern University. Highly sensitive to-and interested in-the aspects of the world of the complex machine, he completed additional work at Bradley and at Neb- raska University. Over the years, Mr. Thompson's love of people-as well as machines-has helped his career to extend from Mississippi and Nebraska to Iowa and Illinois. Many boys have shared his subtly refreshing humor, his pleasant sparkle. For many years Mr. Thompson has enjoyed horsemanship and the rewards of training saddle horses. He has extensive collec- tions of coins, stamps, gems and minerals. After retirement, he will continue his varied interests, one of which is the printing business. Life is a constant opportunity to Mr. Thompson-he looks upon retirement as a chance to pursue his various hobbies. 10 is
