DEDICATIO f X f . Us f ff .::...o 0 I .'o' ,o.:.1 ... . r,t o 9 00. This yearbook is dedicated to the memory of two members of our faculty. hir. Andre Fontaine and Mr. Irving Lasher. No one who knew these men is left unmoved hy their recent deaths. No one can forget them, nor the ethical principles that they in- cutcated. nor the work they accomplished. Vve realize that our small trihute Witt in no way assuage the grief caused hy their departureg nevertheless we desire to show our gratitude for the things they stood for. Mr. Fontaine was with Columbus since the school opened, and devoted himself whole-heartedly to the school. He found time for a multiplicity of outside interests such as gardening and paint- ing. in which he displayed his characteristic energy and enthus- iasm. He sponsored many useful innovations in the schoors ad- ministration. A vihrant speaker, a sympathetic listener, Wir. Fontaine inspired all the students he met. He will always remain a part of Columbus tradition. hir. Lasher was a guide to students who needed to he led: he was the powerful, vital force who imhued boys and girls with the spirit of his own religious and moral convictions. The pupils he guided, the ctuh he estahiished, the echoes of his presence in Cotumhus, att these are his monuments here. Vvhite this trihute to Wir. Lasher and Wir. Fontaine as in- spiring teachers. as welt as friends. confidants. companions, and motders of our future. may seem totally inadequate, it is expressed with the deepest sincerity of the graduating seniors. Our only hope is that some day, in some way, we may justify the sacrifices they have made in our behalf.
