Geismar, has announced his resignation from the faculty of the school. His absence will be keenly felt. For the past six years, he has devoted himself to teaching General Science. Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Even with this busy schedule, however, he has found time to coach winning basketball teams. ln football and baseball his skillful training has prepared many younger players for eventual varsity positions. Perhaps his great- est talent, however, lies in bringing pleasure to others. His ready smile and seemingly endless supply of jokes and other Witticisms have enlivened many a day for students and faculty members alike. The Senior Class wishes to express its heart-felt thanks for his hard work, helpful assistance and unfailing sense of humor, and We only hope that future years may bring him as much happiness as he has brought to us during his six years at Allendale. 6

Qlalzmfzm In order to pay the highest tribute and accord the greatest recognition within our power, we, the members of the Allendale Senior Class of 1948, have elected to dedicate the CLAVUS to the man, who above all others, is the personification of Allendale -Hollis Scofield. Almost from the founding of the School, he has been quietly building for the general welfare of the students and of Allendale. He has been a stimulating teacher, a vigorous coach, and for the last half decade, a just and capable adminis- trator. Above all, he has always offered the fullest measure of helpfulness to any boy whom he felt was honestly trying to do his best. Thus, in appreciation of his leadership, example, and achievement, the .Senior Class dedicates the 1948 CLAVUS to Mr. Hollis Scofield, a man who will always have our undying friendship and loyalty. 5

The Facult These are the men who have had the responsibility of molding our minds and characters at Allendale. They have more than fulfilled their charge in every respect. In the classroom, they have not only instructed us in required subjects, hut have also sought to develop minds capahle of true evaluation and analysis. On the athletic field, they have encouraged us to play hard, Win or lose, while keeping within the tenets of good sportsmanship. What gentle- manly polish we can now boast, we have largely gained from their example and conduct. We fear that at times We may have appeared unappreciative of their efforts, but we feel vve owe them our grateful thanks for their patient instruction and helpful guidance during our years at the school. 7
