DEDICATION MR. FREDERICK C. CALDER When we first saw Mr. Calder a few years ago, he impressed us as being a man with something always on his mind. When we, as lower formers, would see him, and that wasn't very often, he would usually be lumbering with determined steps between the ofiice and Howe building. His face always wore a severe, even grim expression, until someone would say Hello, sirj' and agreeably, Mr. Calder would break from his train of profound thought to return the common pleasantry. Once in the Sixth Form, most of us came in close contact with the many facets of Mr. Calder, either as history teacher, Panel adviser, Lyceum adviser, Student Council adviser or college adviser. ln history class, his personal magnetism would involve us deeply, though vicariously, in the exploits of James Bond, or in the opinions of James Baldwin. Those of us who were fortunate enough to come under his authority in history know that each class was an experience in itself, and by the time the bell rang to mark the finale of that experience, we were either mentally exhausted from submission and exertion, or physically shaken after par- ticipating in mass convulsive hysteria. As his Panel advisees, we learned that he was also a very discerning literary critic, in Lyceum, he was a very thorough speech critic. As adviser to the Student Council, he was usually very serious, and obviously considered that body a vital organ of the schoolls function. And finally, as a college adviser, whenever he found time to act in that capacity, he impressed us as a realist, not an Ivy League idealist. To further illustrate Mr. Calder's many-sided versatility, he is the schoolls lone Russian teacher, and has found himself acting in a variety of other minor capacities, most of them of a voluntary nature. Through these many and sundry functions, Mr. Calder has become, in six short years at Belmont Hill, one of the busiest men at the school. Through his personal magnetism and various achievements, he is one of the most respected members of the faculty. And finally, through his affability and contact with the Sixth Form, he has become very close to almost all seniors in most of what they do. Therefore, we of the Sixth Form do hereby dedicate the 1964 Belmont Hill School Yearbook to Mr. Frederick C. Calder, a man with something always on his mind. 5
