We, the seniors of '50 have a great deal to remember. But above all Mr. Cond', your leadership and guidance throughout the last year remain outstanding. While under your guidance, instruction and encouragement, we, as a class, come to the conclusion that there are two kinds of teachers. Those who get what they can out of a job and those who try to put some -thing into the job. You are definitely in the latter croup. You have done a great deal for the youth of Andover because of your fondness of teaching and your wonderful philosophy of education. It is with the utmost sincerity and highest degree of respect that we, the Seniors of 1950, dedicate this year book to you in the hope that you will accept our tribute.
