Zin fililvmnriam ,IAMES NESBIT STEELE 1876---1938 The teaching experience in Dickinson High School of Jim Steele-no one who knew him ever thought of him otherwise-covers the pioneer and experimental period of the growth of this school. He came here in answer to a demand, then thought imperative and lasting, to teach Foundry Practice. For some reason, as the years went on, whether diminishing demand for that type of training or change in population or different notions as to what high school graduates should do, the course had begun to be less necessary before poor health compelled Mr. Steele to withdraw. And now the foundry is no more, the fan room discipline is only a memory, very vivid, to be sure, in the minds of those who experienced it, and the space occupied by this department is now turned to other uses. lt is impossible, however, that some- thing of the danger and excitement and relentless discipline bound up in the require- ments of teaching and learning the subject shall have disappeared from the moral fibre of those boys who worked under this master craftsman. Another equally revealing aspect of his work as teacher will be remembered long and by many who were outside of his department. From sand lot to stadium Jim Steele was a baseball man. If the class room had not sufficiently proved it, his work with our baseball team for many seasons would have shown that he knew boys and that boys felt towards him as all teachers wish boys would feel towards them. If this should fall under the eye of those who were here four or five school gen- erations ago, they will remember another side which the p1'esent generation never had an opportunity to see and enjoy. When the school was much smaller and mem- bers of the faculty who were interested in dramatics used to give occasional plays, Jim Steele was always thought of when roles were being filled. He had the quali- ties and natural gifts that so often make the performance of the amateur the de- spair of those that believe special training and learned techniques are the only road to theatrical success. In another field of literature, he also gave evidence of his native talents. For some years it became an accepted thing for certain English teach- ers when they came to Burns' poetry in the Golden Treasury to invite Mr. Steele to read his fellow-country man's lyrics. Moist, well mixed sand is no longer being rammed into the mouldsg the smelting furnace no longer roars: orders barked ath boys i nthe hazardous handling of molten metal are stilledg the unfamiliar and pungent odor of the heat no longer assails the nostrils of pupils passing in the stairways and corridors above the foundry. The last talk on how to play the game has been deliveredg the home plate is dusted clean. The final curtain has gone down on his favorite role. Tam o'Shanter is no longer heard with its adequate Scotch accent. But Jim Steele has not gone. For appre- ciation, gratitude, applause, and love go on. Memories never die. HARRY GREENWOOD GROVER
