The class of 1953 would like to dedicate this book to Mr. Stevens in appreciation for the last twenty-five years which he has spent blazing a trail through the wilderness of education for the students of B.H. - B.L. His fine sense of values has made clear to us our goals in life both large and small, and his friendly guidance and fond interest in all our problems have given us a more pleasant view of our schoolwork. Mr. Stevens originally came to B.H. - B.L. as a teacher in 1928. Until 1938 he taught mathematics and science and coached our budding athletic teams. Both as teacher and principal he has done his best for our school, and we are indebted to him. To show our gratitude and esteem for him we would like to, in our humble way, add ourselves to those who find their obligation to him great, their love for him strong, and their admiration for him deep, sincere, and undying. 6
