MR. WALTER A. KULL A Humble Tribute to an Honorable Man . . . During His Final Year of Teaching By NeilWaugh What is a teacher? No one statement can define. A teacher can be many things--instructor, confident, leader, and friend. There are all kinds of teachers--aggressive, deep-thinking, dedicated, or espe- cially ambitious. It certainly takes a lot to be any of these. As students, we sometimes neglect to appreciate their guidance and leadershipg as a teacher might witness this situation, he must feel he has entered a most unrewarding profession. But as we mature and begin to think about our future endeavors, we often look back with grateful memories to those people who have given so much of themselves to usg as we reminisce, we also realize that a teacher's life is not really so unrewarding. 22 For now we understand how satisfying it must be to see so many youths succeed and take their places as useful citizens and leaders. Indeed such a man as Mr. Walter A. Kull, must have experi- enced these sadnesses and joys of his profession many times in his long teaching career . . . which began twenty-six years ago in Painsville, Ohio. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts and Commerce Degree, he continued his studies at Western Reserve University where he obtained his Masters Degree of Education. An education gained, he went to New York and worked for the National Bank of America: after gaining experience in the business world, he left to seek his fortunes elsewhere and served as the secretary-treasurer of a Silk Dye Manufacturing establish- ment. Now married, he left New York and entered the teaching field. Following his initial teaching experience, he served for a brief term in the United States Armed Forces. Succeeding these years of service to his country he came to Brilliant where he em- barked on a long and industrious teaching career in the field of Mechanical Drawing and the Manual Arts. As we leave our home of learning and bid farewell and give thanks, we hope that you, Mr. Kull, can lean back to one of the most satisfying experiences of your life and say, I helped to mold them--they are a part of ME. Indeed, Mr. Kull, you have become a part of us. Rich Lewis listens intently to the ol' Doctor
