D-DIPTIIDII The Class of 1959, Diman Vocational High School, sincerely and respectfully offers this, the tenth volume of The Artisan, to: Mr. Stanley J. Remiesiewicz, Ed. B. Supervisor and Instructor in the Science of Automotive Mechanics who, as a teacher and guide, in preparation for our future careers, has been the inspira- tion for all Diman men because of his unwearied patriotic devotion to his country through the late World War's lurid flames as a leader of men and unyielding prisoner of war for Freedom's cause. Because of his strength of character, we have been animated to go forth into the world with the consciousness that we can face its problems with eagerness and con- fidence, and meet our fellow man upon his own plane with the awareness of vocational excellence in craftsmanship. We shall always strive to be true to the principles and ideals of vocational education which he has imparted to usl Mr. Stanley 1. Remiefiewicz

JOHN P. HARRINGTON Director As you, the members of the 1959 graduating class at Diman, leave your home away from home of the past four years, it is well that you pause a moment to consider the road ahead. Fortified as you have been by a diligent faculty with technical skills and academic learning, imbued with all the spirit and confidence of youth, you eagerly await your chance to show what you can do in the iob that lies before you. But it is our fond hope that you will bring more than this to the task ahead. We hope that in the four short years you have been with us that you have developed a philosophy or outlook on life that recognizes the dignity and importance of all men regardless of their station in life, that you hold to the belief that all things in life have not only a material value but also a spiritual value, and that you through your own individual effort at work, at home, and in society can make a contribution to the welfare of your group. With this philosophy and your technical and academic training you cannot help but be successful in your chosen endeavor which is the wish of the administration and faculty for each and every one of you.
