ln Memoriam DEDICATION This book is dedicated to Robert Daniels, who, by his earnestness and thoughtfulness endeared himself not only to the members of last year’s Caduceus staff, of which he was the sports editor, but also to all his classmates. Born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on November 15, 1931, he attended local schools until the family moved to Spring- field, at which time he entered Buckingham Junior High School. His later attendance here at the High School of Commerce completed his education. While at Commerce, his favorite subjects were English and Bookkeeping. His activities included Caduceus, Boys’ Patrol, Le Foyer, Visual Aids, Hi-Y, vice-presidency of his home room, and chairmanship of the Senior Auditors. In all of these groups, Robert’s genuine helpfulness made him sincerely loved by his companions. This affection was evi- denced by the hundreds of cards and letters received during the tragic illness which resulted in his blindness. Just before his death, on September 17, 1948, he was listening to a radio given him by his many Patrol and Caduceus friends. bees To all, Robert was gentle and considerate. Miss Helen E. Rankin, who had been his home room teacher and adviser in Caduceus, said of him: “T never have known another boy who was so entirely un- selfish. His work as a Caduceus editor was an example of this altruism. When he realized the other boys on the staff were needed for different positions, he assumed the responsi- bility of the sports editorship, although he, himself, could not participate in athletics. As it was imperative for this editor to be present at the contests in order to write a fair cover- age, he gave up other afternoon pleasures in order to go with the team on even their out-of-town encounters. ‘Nor was this his only unselfish contribution to the year- book. When not busy covering games, Robert always re- mained after school to aid anyone who might need him. When he noticed a friend was very busy making page lay- outs, Robert, although unskilled in art, carefully designed and executed some very interesting arrangements for his pictures and editorials. “His many friends will never forget Robert, for his loss is a very real one.”
