Dedication Philip Houghton Mr. Houghton, after graduating from Bates College in Maine, taught mathematics and English at Maine's Mars Hill High School. In his extra time he was a Boy Scout Master. In 1950 Mr. Houghton came to Colorado and began work toward his Master's degree at Colorado Uni- versity. His studies were interrupted two years later, when he went to Panama to become the Director of the In- formation and Education Service for the Army at Fort Kobbe. While in the Canal Zone, Mr. Houghton was Educational Director of the first Boys' State pro- gram outside the continental United States. After spending six years in Panama Mr. Houghton returned to Colorado and became a teacher at South in 1958. In addition to teaching American Literature and College Preparatory English, Mr. Houghton has been the sponsor of the Iohnny Reb since 1950. Dur- ing that time the johnny Reb has received many first class national awards as an outstanding yearbook, and in 1961 was awarded the top Medalist rating from Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Weekends find Mr. Houghton moonlighting : his second job is driving a chartered bus for Colorado Transportation Company. Many students know him as the cheerful driver of the ski bus or the bus which takes the Biology classes on field trips. In spite of his full schedule, Mr. Houghton has found time to be an active member of the Denver Classroom Teachers Association. As a building representative from South and as chairman of the Professional Negotiations Committee, he has been instrumental in efforts to raise the professional competence of teachers, to achieve higher salaries, and to gain better working conditions. Mr. Houghton has also written English materials on parallel structure to be used by the Den- ver Public Schools for programmed instruction, a re- cently developed method by which a student may progress according to his own learning rate and level of understanding. Last summer in August he received his Master's degree in Education and next year he will go on sab- batical leave to work for his doctorate. He will be missed by many students at South. To you, Mr. Houghton-for your interest in each student as an individual, for the extra time you give to all who desire to learn or to create, for your efforts in bettering the teaching profession, and lespecially from the Staffl for your outstanding work with the yearbook-we dedicate the 1964 Johnny Reb. fri' 51
