76 Bison Dedicated to Mr. Mallory Mr. D.A. Mallory. Superintendent of Schools 1944-1976 It doesn't seem that 32 years will soon have passed since I moved my family to Buffalo, as the NEW Superintendent of Schools. July 1,1944. To attempt to list 32 years of events, change, successes, fail- ures. high points, low ebbs, etc., in all areas of our society in this brief space would be folly. This time saw the termination of World War II and the brutality of two other major conflicts since that time, with all the tremendous changes they brought to all people throughout the world. As 1 come to the close of my responsibilities as your superintendent of schools. I do so with deep gratitude for many things: the dedicated support you have given me the thousands of fine youth I've been privileged to serve the many hundreds of graduates dedicated to service in their chosen fields the thousands of friendships my family and I have made among you the educational opportunities this area has given my children and yours These are only a part of the many reasons I am thankful. In this last book in which it will be my opportunity to write I want to express my gratitude to those you chose to serve education as members of the Board of Education. Many of them now are gone. The names of those deceased are indicated with an asterisk. On the Board that brought me here 32 years ago were: Phi 11 Hawkins Dr. W. L. Woody L.B. Jones Bert Neill Glenn Thomas C.A. Bonner The present Board: Harold Morgans Deraid Henderson Ernie Mayfield Vernon Viets Dr. Charles E. Moore Ed Garrison In between the first board and last one I've served were: Murrell Indermuehle Owen Neill Jim Peters Dr. D.D. Church Tom Pachl Ray Bennett Floyd Reset Ward Rea James Hawkins Keith Kendall Ishmael McDaniel Hadley Thomas To all these men the community is indebted. Their total interest as members of the Board of Ed- ucation was directed toward the educational welfare of the child. 1 am grateful for them and the ser- vice they rendered The educational leadership of this fine school system from July 1. 1976 will be in excellent hands. Mr. Jack Howard, in my opinion is well trained, experienced and dedicated to his profession educational administration. To Mr. Howard, and the rest of the administration, to the teachers, students, and entire community I wish the best and will always support my school in every way. Dr. O.A. Griffin Fay Coffman Leighton Clark R.L Whited Richard Petree BUI Nunn 4

In Dallas County Missouri the words progress and education are synonyms for the name D.A. Mal- lory. Newcomers to the community often express pleasurable amazement when comparing the tax base of the district with the Dallas County educational system. This year a newly compiled report of curriculum will reveal over 14S subjects open to the Buffalo hi h school student. An aerial view of the Buffalo campuses, which docs not include the newest acquistion, the Dallas County Area Voca- tional Technical School, reflects the growth of the Dallas County schools. A fitting tribute to the man responsible for this growth is the D.A. Mallory Elementary School which was so named at a formal dedication on March 19.1972. General Douglas Mac Arthur once made the now famous statement: Old soldiers never die. They just fade away. A contemporary writer. Ray Bradbury, has aptly phrased the idea saying. “No per- son ever died who had a family. Although Mr. Mallory announced his retirement in 1976, he will con- tinue to live as Superintendent of Schools not just in Dallas County but in the vast wide areas where his “family is still perpetuating the ideals and standards he sought to instill in them. Mr. Doug Cassity, now a Springfield lawyer and Buffalo High School graduate, expresses this idea in a letter to Mr. Mallory. ...lam proud and thankful that I had the opportunity of attending a school system which prepared me both morally and educationally for the challenges of higher education, business, and life. I am sure that all students have one thing that stands out more than others with re- gard to the talks you used to have with students in a sincere attempt to inspire them to higher achievement. The one thine that you said that continues to inspire me day after day is that the most ignorant of all people are those who don’t know that they don’t know”. Understanding that phrase produces both compassion for those who “don't know and inspiration for those of us attempting to obtain the knowledge. You have truly left your mark on untold numbers of us and I simply want to say Thank you .... The 1976 Bison is hereby proudly dedicated to Mr. D.A. Mallory. Jack Howard will take the reigns as superintendent in July. Charles Johnson presented an oil portrait of Superintendent D.A. Mallory at the Alumni Banquet. 5
