WM WWW K .MW flfft r 4 All of us seniors awaited our first day in your civics class with great expectations. Not know- ing what you had to offer, we listened to you spellbound during our first lesson. In a proud and reverent manner, you presented our gov- ernment to us. With . the greatest precision you etched the pattern ofdemocracy upon our minds. Some of us were not always eager to learn, but with great patience, you overcame our weak barriers. Through supplementary work, you stimulated our interest in state and local affairs. Inv your classes we developed new awareness of world problems. We could foresee the possible crises we would have to face in the future. From your instruction we received the materials with which we can give everlasting strength to our way of life. Thank you5 Miss Scott, for your devoted work as our teacher who strived to build character as well as knowledge within us, your students. The Class of 1962.

gl v Uri ADMINISTRATICN Our superintendent of schools, Sherwood Dccs, who came to Dixon in 1953, works closely with the school board in serving the Dixon Public Schools. He acts as a median between our schools and the school board. Mr. Dees also recommends thc cm- ployment of all new school employees, prepares the budget for the school district a11d sees that all thc policies of the board are carried out. lVe, the stu- dents of DHS, agree that Mr. Dees has done a fine job, and wc wish to express our thanks. As principal of DHS, Sheldon Bross has earned the respect and admiration of the entire student body. Mr. Bross not only prepares our curriculum, sched- ules our classes, and assigns our teachers, but he also plans athletic programs and gives invaluable aid to seniors planning to attend college by filling in their various application blanks. After receiving his Bachelor's degree at Carthage College and his Master's degree at the University of Colorado, Mr. Bross began teaching at Mendon, Illinois. In 195-L he began his duties as principal of DHS. The gradu- ating class of 1962 wishes to express its sincerest thanks to Mr. Bross, our principal. Marvin Winger, our assistant principal, has just completed his 26th year as a member of the DHS faculty. He attended both the University of Illinois and the University of Wisconsin, receiving both his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degree from the latter. He began teaching and coaching in his native town of Walnut and in 1939 became a history and economics instructor at DHS. In September of 1956 he assumed the position of assistant principal. His various duties include supervising registration, absence, tardiness, and disciplinary action. This year we would like to commend Mr. Winger on his excellent speech that he gave at the Homecoming pcp rally and wish him the best of luck in his forth- coming years at DHS. ,Av-5
