Not only mathematical formulas and corolla- ries did he teach but also principles of living. Those in his class learned not iust from a book but from the man and his belief in honesty, service, and clean living. For these reasons, the Class of I954 is proud to be able to dedicate their book to Mr. John J. Hall. We wish to offer our thanks for his devotion and our hopes for his happiness in the future.
