DEDIC I , We, the class of 1965, would like to dedicate this year- Kiu book to Mr. John Almquist, the teacher, a living Emerson, a grown-up Huckleberry Finn, an Ahab without his madness, tA« t and a modern Walt Whitman. Here is a man of hulking rj ' stature, a breadth of mind, and a vast humanity. A man of t diverse qualities, he became part of our lives and development jX ' ' ' ° ' - junior year English teacher and yearbook advisor. More than this, he opened Our minds to philosophy, poetry and ourselves. Wake up! he shouted — and we awoke. His brutal frankness, understanding and sincerity brought us close to him as a true and learned friend. Sharing his moods and memories gave us a new concept of relating learning to life — and we were enriched. As an expression of thanks, we dedicate this yearbook to Mr. John A. Almquist the whole man.
