ln 1957, Nlr. Harrison liecame a memher of the faculty. He was only here a lbw days when, hy unanimous vote, he was elected faculty adviser of the Class of 1958. During this short interval his capable leadership, cordiality, and un- tiring efforts on our behalf, have won for him the admiration and lasting friendship of the entire class. During this year and a half as our faculty adviser, Mr. Harrison has kept us united in our mutual class enter- prises, as was seen in the outstanding Junior dance of last year. For his generous cooperation and friendly under- standing, we, the class of 1958, are very grateful, and, as a small token of our gratitude, we here dedicate the 1958 issue of The Chevron to the man whose encouragement and support, has made the publication of this yearbook possible, iW1r. YVa1ter Harrison. DEDICATION W,xL'rr:R LAVVRENCE HARRISON

FOREWORD It is with the hope of having advanced the quality set by the three preceding issues of The Chevron that we present Volume IV, published by the Class of 1958. In publishing our yearbook, such obstacles as business recession, lack of popular support, and other retarding influences have stood in the way, however, nothing satisfactory is ever gained without diiiiculty, and we areiproud of the fact that we were not forced to forego publication of this year's issue. Changes in set-up include more informal pictures, longer articles, and less rigidity of writing style 5 we hope that the changes we have made have been for the bettering of the quality of school publications. In writing up this book, our policy has been three-fold, primarily, we have sought to put out a book which will be of interest to all readers, cadets, old boys, and parents alike, secondly, we have tried to embody in our work the support of the entire classy our third objective, and the most im- portant from our personal view, is to create a yearbook which we may turn to many years from now, and, by reading it, recall to mind the incidents of our life at Deveaux. We think we have been successful in the first two points g only time will tell if we have succeeded in creating a lasting memento. With deepest gratitude to Dr. Barton, Mr. Harrison, and those whose financial contributions made this book possible, we give you The Chevron of 1958.

FORTITER FIDELITER FELICITER BY W. L. HARRISON As DeVeaux sends the class of '58 out into this interverting world, I find that there is within me both a feeling of honor and one of sadness. Honor, in that I am your class adviser, and that I have formed such interesting friendships. Sadness, in that we have only begun to understand each other. You, the class of '58, have demonstrated leadership in school affairs. You have also set a goal for those to follow in scholarship, athletics, dramatics, and writing. I do not think that you have reached the highest goal in those things, but I do feel that it will be an honorable aim for others to seek. As you leave this campus, each of you will take a different path in this world. Some paths will lead to further education, others to the business world, while, perhaps, others will lead to places unknown. As you go, may you keep in mind that the person whose path of life is brave, faithful, and loyal lives a happy and sagacious life-the foundation of your Deveaux training. Remember, what you accomplish will reflect what you have gained from this school. To the class of '58, Fond Farewell.
