IN MEMORIAM HE Class of 1940 will always be saddened by the remembrance that the year of their graduation was also that of the death of Dr. Barrows. Though few of us actually knew him, we all have sensed the great influence which this great educator and true Christian exercised over DeVeaux. XVe know that it was his remarkable ability and intense devotion that raised the school to a new, high level of standing and prestige. Fiore important, we remember that he was a man whom all boys loved, who could down the best of them in tennis and inspire the most reluctant with a zeal for learning. His power over boys, so many of whom he directed to success and happiness, resulted from a strong, masculine personality. His own helpful, successful life was the result of his high ideals and time character. We are both proud and sad in paying tribute in our CHEVRON of 1940 to a truly great man-to Barrows of DeVeaux. l ,QI 4 Ig..

DEDICATED mi FREDERICK W. BUTTON O other person has been of greater help to the Class of 1940 than Mr. Button. He was chosen as a man who would understand, help, and direct us in our problems, both scholastic and personal. Under his able and thoughtful guidance, we have at last reached the end of our journey-a journey which has been made easier and more enjoyable by his devoted and everlasting elforts. It is for these reasons, therefore, that this issue of THE CHEVRON is a monument to his care and tact in handling a group of boys with the varied opinions that we have had. We shall always remember our advisor, who turned many of our ideas into concrete facts and showed us the foolhardiness of others. In years to come, Mr. Button will be outstanding in our memories of DeVeaux. We shall remember him, not as a master, but as one of the Class of '4O.
