It only seems natural that we dedicate this year’s CANOE to the individual who has been so much a part of our lives here at Berrien Springs High School; who has been an organizer, friend, and first-rate teacher; not only of facts, but of methods. As an athletic promoter he has been Varsity baseball coach, Junior Varsity basketball coach, and Junior Varsity football coach. He taught boys’ physical education for two years. We cannot begin to thank him for the number of drowsy pep assemblies he has unfailingly transformed into unified, one-for-all efforts which have more than once spurred our Shamrocks on to victory. It has been the good fortune of the Class of 1968 to have Mr. Phillips as their sponsor. The seniors can remember more careful and frantic days when his influence and guiding hand was profoundly appreciated. As an instructor of the social studies, he is demanding, provocative, snarling, and surprising; he has created laughter, promoted self-evaluation, altered outlooks, opinions, and perhaps even lives. He is a teacher in the fullest sense of the word, and for this we are supremely grateful. Won’t you join us, please, in dedicating the 1968 edition of the CANOE to Mr. Thomas Phillips. IN DEDICATION. . .

SCHOLARSHIP BANQUET GIVES RECOGNITION Shown above are the semester honor roll students of all four high school classes with their parents appearing in the background. Dr. Jay H. Mona week, recently retired assistant director of the reactor engineering division of the Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago, spoke to the students. Dr. Monaweck emphasized that students about to enter a university will find it to be a place to think. He urged the future college students that their greatest success hinges on development of imagination and logic. The Honors Banquet is the culminating point of our four years of high school scholastic achievement. Students who have worked hard to keep up their grade averages are given formal recognition of their fine accomplishments. John Hoopingarner, Diane LaVanwav, and Pat Schmidt are lighting the candles representing character, leadership, and service while Tom Evans waits to light the candle of scholarship. All the new members received lighted candles to signify their formal admittance to the National Honor Society.
