DEDICATIO As a stream, arising from an obscure beginning, becomes a river and at length merges with the ocean, so the influence of one person spreads and touches the lives of countless numbers. lt is fitting to think of the man to whom we dedicate this- volume, Mr. Irving Hazard, as such a stream - one that has deepened and broadened its influence with the passing years. To attain the status of teacher and then later principal, Mr. Hazard had to overcome many obstacles. When he was about two years of age he contracted infantile paralysis, and when he was ten his father died. He worked during his high school years and graduated from high school at Homer, New York. He worked his way through college and received a Bach- elor of Science degree in chemistry from Syracuse University. Upon graduation, still undecided about his future, he spent about a year in New Mexico, after which he held successful positions with industrial and chem- ical companies in Maryland, New York, and Washing- ton D.C. Then in September of 1921, Mr. Hazard embarked upon his teaching career, teaching sciences at Athens High School. He became principal of the school in 1934. During his principalship, Mr. Hazard has witnessed many changes in Athens High School. Two of the most prominent changes have been in the athletics depart- ment, the addition of the gymnasium and the new athletic field. Mr. Hazard has always shown an inter- est in sports in Athens. He attends most of the school games and was, at one time, the faculty manager of athletics. He also witnessed the building of the auditorium wing. Since his college years, Mr. Hazard has had a deep interest in dramatics. For several years he directed some of the best senior plays presented at Athens. While he was teaching chemistry, he wrote and presented a play which featured the science of chemistry. This play was later published in anational chemistry magazine. Mr. Hazard regards extra-curricular activities with favor as long as they do not interfere with school work. He himself has many outside activities. These range from building his own boat to playing chess and checkers, to traveling, to reading, and finally to photography. Besides these hobbies, Mr. Hazard has participated extensively in civic affairs. He has always beena very active member of his church, serving as chairman of the board for some time. Previous to this, he taught a Sunday School class and was active in the youth fellowship. Not only has Mr. Hazard always taken part in all the activities of his church but he has also spent a great deal of time with other com- munity groups. He has been a very successful pres- ident 'of the Spaulding Memorial Library Board for several years. Mr. Hazard is a past president of the Rotaryg he has also held offices in the Odd Fellows. Mr. Hazard will long be remembered in the hearts of the students who have attended and graduated from Athens High School for his understanding of their problems and his respect for them as young adults. To live in mankind is far more than to live in a name. To live in mankind, far, far more than to live in a name. '
