Z0Zl.C6iZll'0lfL As this is the highest honor within our power to bestow, we, the Class of 1949, humbly dedicate our senior book to Mr. Peter Aston Schwartz. In his first year as headmaster, he has created an unusual spirit of cooperation within the school, and has made the public aware of Allendale. His efficient coordination of school life, the noteworthy changes in the cur- riculum, and the institution of increased extra-curricular activity have all marked this year as the finest in the history of Allen- dale. Mr. Schwartz has been to us, a capable and patient instructor, a true and devoted friend, and genuine help in our college matriculation. Hence, we dedicate the 1949 CLAVUS to Mr. Peter Aston Schwartz, who will always have our com- plete support and our undying friendship. a
