' ' Dad Dorland Dad Dorland, a fine old man is he. He has now entered upon h ' s sixth year of service for the Alexis school and is probably better known among Alexis psop;e and kids, than any other person connected with the institution. It is Dad ' s job to see to it that our class rooms, campus and things in general are kept spick and span , and the fact that he is always on the job is evidenced by the frequent way in which the visitors speak of the cleanliness of our campus. The writer feels all to weak to say what ought to be said about Dad and what he has meant and is meaning to each generation of Alexis students. He is acquainted with the present student body, and many of the old grads recall with pleasure the acquaintanc and interesting talks they have had with this grand man, who swings ths dust pan and broom. Dad has welcomed many a group of green, grassy, repugnant Freshmen to the halls of this school life, only to sit in assembly four years later to see them, young and gay, leceive their diplomas and pass cut into life ' s school, there to take their place in the world. Because of Dad ' s willingness to help everybody and to do his share of work and give the right service, he has a warm place in the heart of every Alexis student. There has been a bond of friendship formed which shall never be broken. We are proud of the fact that he is Our Dad, and we hope that he will live to see many more generations of students come to the Alexis Community High School in wliich he has seen fit to invest his life.
