uUtf faculty THOUGH the members of a high school are spoken of as Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, there is one omission in this description, and probably it is one which should have pre-eminence over all the rest,—the teachers. Pupils might attend school each day, but what would they gain if there were no instructors? They might receive the broadening acquired through association with others, but the real, fundamental foundation of a liberal education would be lacking. As the kindergarten formulates in a child’s mind, the constructive rather than the destructive idea, so the high school transforms and arranges those ideas into definite and mature ideals, for life in the world of men and women, ideals upon which depend the future success of the student’s career. We, of the Dover High School, and especially of the Class of 1917, because of our long acquaintance with them, recognize the appreciation and thanks we owe to our faculty, for their ever faithful devotion to our class, and for the dedication of their lives and works to the furtherance of our welfare and success. And when we go from this world of joy into the vast world of care, we will feel much like the country boy, leaving the old farm for a life in the hum of the city. We will miss their careful advice and guidance when we are out on the great sea of Life, and know, that were it not for their careful preparation, we would be but hopeless derelicts. 10
