THOMAS A. DeVILBISS GAVE US OUR NAME T HE name of our school is one of which we may well be proud. Our school is named for a man who was unquestionably Toledo ' s foremost citizen. pot O When one studies the many activities and interests of Thomas A. DeVilbiss ' one is impressed with the fact that few of them were such as to bring him any direct personal gain — excepting that very great gain which comes from the happi- ness of helping others. Thomas A. DeVilbiss was known and honored for his inventive genius and outstanding business ability. And yet it is not, primarily, as an inventor or as a business leader that his memory is enshrined in our hearts. Many were the fields of endeavor in which Thomas A. DeVilbiss served his fellowmen, both through his own intensive personal efforts and through his liberal contributions to civic enterprises. As a member of the Board of Education, he was a leader in the movement which gave to Toledo its beautiful and modern school buildings. He was an officer of the Boy Scouts of America, and his generosity made possi- ble the Scout Reservation here. He was President of the Community Chest, a director of the Young Men ' s Christian Association, a trustee of the Toledo Museum of Art, President of the Chamber of Commerce, and Commodore of the Inter-Lake Yachting Association. And yet immersed as he was in these many absorbing interests that demanded so much of his time and thought, his courtesy and kindness, his friendly greeting and warm smile, were never known to fail. The name of our school will be a constant source of inspiration to every student who goes forth from these halls. The name of our school is one to be cherished, always. In appreciation therefore, of his civic loyalty and splendid co-operation in educational matters, and in expressing the hope that his example will imbue all DeVilbiss students with the desire to distinguish themselves as leaders of our community, we respectfully dedicate this 1933 n O | d edition of the Pot 0 ' Gold to the spirit of Thomas A. DeVilbiss. five
