Colorado Academy - Telesis Yearbook (Denver, CO)

Telesis Citations In the past the custom of dedicating the yearbook to a single individual has caused the Telesis staff to feel the pangs of conscience: a sense of guilt created by our many sins of omission. Too often have we felt that other worthy souls had been ignored because of the limitations of this method of dedication. This year the staff feels that at least four persons merit the distinction usually reserved for one individual, and We feel that postponing this recognition for additional years would be both un- wise and unfair. With this issue of Telesis a new system of dedication has begun, the Telesis Citations. We will cite as many individuals as we feel appropriate and hope that this method of recognizing achievement will possess increased value and flexibility.

Robert M. Simms In many ways we on the staff of Telesis feel that Coach Simms has earned this recognition many times over. At the close of the 1961-62 school year, Coach Simms will have devoted fifteen years of service to CA. No one on the faculty has worked harder or more conscientiously than Captain Simms. ln the fall, a week before school begins, we find him on the football field whipping the varsity football team into shape. By the time school has begun, Captain Simms has worked out the details of a perfectly organized athletic schedule. In the winter he coaches basketball, in the spring he coaches track and throughout the year he teaches science and handles the laborious athletic scheduling. For the past twelve years he has run an excellent summer camp. But even more amazing than these many activities is the energy he has left after he has done his teaching, coaching and administrational tasks. This energy is often devoted to outings, activities and camping trips with the students. No wonder he is one of the best liked and most respected men on campus. So to Robert Simms for all these contributions and many others that we haven't had space to mention all we can say is, Thanks Coach! Frances G. Brower Each of us at CA knows Miss Brower and can tell a visitor where to find her busily making things hum in the office. But how many of us are aware that the coming term willl mark Miss Brower's twenty-fifth year of con- tinuous employment with the academy? Miss Brower began work in 1938 as a secretary when the school was known as the Colorado Military Academy. Later she assisted the teachers of grades 1-8 and still later handled the teaching of upper school mathematics. When the school moved to its present location, Miss Brower discontinued her teaching to devote her full at- tention to secretarial duties. Throughout the years she has accumulated an in- credibly detailed knowledge of many varying aspects of the school's function. She has earned the respect and affection of every member of the student and faculty bodies. She has gained the reputation of knowing where to find anything needed by anyone in the school. So valuable has her efficiency and accuracy become that even Mr. Froelicher has said, Without Miss Brower we'd all be confused. 1213 R25 827 ' Ui..
