ASSISTANT HEADMASTER Qygyilfflv H. Proctor , . kj ii ,,s ef , H 2' kwa This morning's speaker will be . . . These words can be associated with only one man in the School, our Assistant Headmaster, Mr. H. Proctor Martin. During his thirty years in the School, he has helped to lead DeVeaux through many of its harder days. He has always been on hand to con- tinually add friendliness and respect to the School's atmosphere. For example, whenever a personal problem arises in any boy's mind, he can always go to Mr. Martin to secure sound advice. We would like to thank him for all the help that he has afforded us in all our years at De- Veaux, and we are sure that boys for many years to come will find Mr. Martin as great an aid in their days at DeVeaux as we have. Ci- f Q, ACTING .YHEADMASTER C 'fi G. Patterson Crandall ,gf- Greeting us with smiles and good cheer on our first day of school this year, Mr. G. Patterson Crandall won the hearts of all the members of the DeVeaux community. Mr. Crandall came to DeVeaux after he had retired from fourteen years of teaching at West- minister School in Connecticut. He is a graduate of Yale University where he was, among other things, a Wfiffenpoof. After graduating, he be- came a successful banker. Our Acting Headmaster who has been a joy to know, has brought a bright feeling to DeVeaux this year, one of warmth, friendliness, and sin- cerity. Because of these attributes, the Senior Class wishes him and his charming wife the very best of luck in the future, and we gratefully thank him for his help and guidance in this, our most difficult year.

SENIOR OFFICERS PRESIDENT SECRETARY Ernest Testo TREASURER Robert Penny VICE PRESIDENT G. Brent Davis Roger Russell The Class of 1960 In 1954, a group of quivering cowards appeared on the DeVeaux campus. That's we. For many of us it's taken six long years to become fearless Seniors, and, new that we've done it, we're afraid of college. Is there no justice? O well, someone once said that life is nothing more than a merry-go-round anyway. At least we can be proud that we have continued in this grand tradition. As a matter of fact, we can even note a real deterioration of rationalism around us. Thatis also we. However, it must be admitted that only a few of the old line are left here . . . four to be exact. Nevertheless, the class ranks have been both augmented and demented . . . er . . . depleted by various and sundry personages, until now we are a resounding twenty-two strong. Gads! What potential! Frankly, we feel that there hasn't been a better Senior Class in years, perhaps never fModest, aren't we?- Ed.j. To think, we were complacent to stay at DeVeaux when we should have been out spreading ouselves throughout mankind. You know, when you come to think of it, weive been doing our fellow man a disservice. In turn, one may ask what we have done for DeVeaux. We say that anyone who has the gall to ask such an embarassing question should be drawn and quartered. To be serious for a moment, though, DeVeaux has given us a great deal, and in some way we have tried, and will continue to tty, to return the faith put in us. This is our Christian dutyg and, like any lasting tradtion, we must put more into it than we take out. Other- wise, a stifling noncommittal attitude would pervade the School. It is indeed our lasting hope that DeVeaux will be able to remember us as much and as well as we will remember it. 10 i- if ,
