DeVilbiss High School - Pot O Gold Yearbook (Toledo, OH)

Page 10 text:

One may call the faculty a crew of a ship, a crew which has its weather eye peeled for what- ever difficulties may arise. At the first notice arrangements are made to offset this problem looming ahead. Again one great attempt overcomes the confront- ing obstacle with the united effort of everyone — co-opera- tion. The faculty of DeVilbiss High School has repeatedly over- whelmed difficulties and has come out on top with well-merit- ed laurels. 6]

MERRITT C. NAUTS In accordance with the ideals of our school, we dedicate this 1934 edition of the Pot 0 ' Gold to the Spirit of Progress. During the last three years the spirit of progress has plaj ' ed an important part in the development of DeVilbiss. In so short time it has given us traditions, a definite character, and a reputation which puts DeVilbiss in the first rank. Progress implies a motivating force. The one who has helped us progress so rapidly in so short a time is our principal, Mr. Merritt C. Nauts. With untiring energy, he has worked to place our school on the highest plane by introducing the most modern and progressive methods of education. His first interest was in high scholastic standards, and the result of this interest was the inauguration of an honor society. His next concern was for proper equipment to provide every modern means for improved instruction, and in less than two and a half years, our auditorium has sound equipment for the projection of educational films. Then, through his fore-sight and decisive action, our dreams of a stadium, which we had not hoped to get for many years, became, within a few months, a reality. We, the class of 1934, who entered this new school as sophomores and have been inspired by the speed with which we have accomplished our aims, hope always to be looking forward in this ever-changing world and to keep in step with progress.
