DEDICATION Wc, the Senior Class of 1953 of Brimfield High, take great pride and pleasure in dedicating this edition of the Spectator to Henry DeVries, the custodian of our high school. His cooperation, personality, and sincere effort to do his best at all times have made our high school years more pleasant. Mr. DeVries is now completing his nineteenth year with the Brimfield School District. For the first two years, he worked in the “Community Building. When the new high school was constructed in 1936, he became its first and onlv custodian thus far. That clean and attractive building now stands as a tribute to his untiring efforts. Mr. DeVries has seen every home high school basketball game during the past seventeen years. I le enjoys basketball a great deal and has been one of Brimfield's most loyal fans. He has also seen all of the Brimfield High School plays since 1936 except one. He was ill and in the hospital this Near at the time of the Junior Class Play. He reports that the thing that bothered him most while he was in the hospital was the thought of missing that play. By the way, during the nineteen years Mr. DeVries has been with the Brimfield School District, he has not missed over twenty davs of work due to illness. EXCHANGE STATE BANK Of Brimfield Brimfield Illinois The Passing Years During my nineteen years of being associated with the High School, I have seen and heard many varied events. One of the most satisfying events is that of watching the students come and go. then later taking their positions in life. 1 have had laughs and sad moments, but in my opinion the laughter has far outweighed the sadder moments. When the halls ring with honest and whole-hearted laughter, then my heart is happy. My sincere wish is to sec each and every student become a success in life and I hope that in my humble way, I may be of some help.” —Henry During the years wc have been in school, Mr. DeVries has shown a sincere interest in our affairs. He has helped us in every wav possible to make our school activities more successful. For these reasons, the Senior Class decided, by a unanimous vote, to dedicate this 1953 Spectator to our friend, Hcnrv DeVries. I Iknry DeVries
