IllIlIEHlIllN. We, the staff, dedicate the 1947 Purple and Gold to Mr. William Brenner, who has been a teacher at Waite High School for the last ten years, and has the distinction of being one of her own graduates. His ability and character have truly made him deserving of this honor. Mr. Brenner has thoroughly prepared himself to be a physics and chemistry teacher. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Toledo and a Master of Science degree from the Uni- versity of Kentucky. Also, he has taken post-graduate work at the Universities of Michigan and Columbia. Mr. Brenner is an associate member of Sigma Xi and a member of an honorary physics fraternity, Sigma Pi Sigma. Mr. Brenner is always eager to serve and is very active in the school's events. He also finds time to be a well-liked advisor to the Forum. Pupils of Waite will be forever indebted to you, Mr. Brenner, for your keen interest and patient understanding which you show when helping us with our difficult tasks.

I I l l l How can we adequately pay tribute to one who has been a vital part of our school for twenty-four years? Here, indeed, was a congenial co-operative man, a friend to all-faculty and students alike. Earl W, Combs joined the faculty of Waite High School in 1924. He taught history, civics and economics, making his subject interesting with his sense of humor and his practical attitude toward the problems confronting his students. For nearly twenty years Mr. Combs served as business advisor for the 'Purple and Gold , a position he fulfilled with integrity and good common sense. Alfred, Lord Tennyson in his poem Crossing The Bar writes: And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark. We feel that this phrase expresses a philosophy Mr. Combs would like, therefore, although we shall miss him greatly, we shall not mourn long for him. Instead, we shall consider ourselves fortunate to have known such a splendid man, to have had him for a friend, to have had his interests our inter- ests for such a long time.
