Dedication HARRY M. DILLER The Senior Class of 1956 wishes to dedicate this issue of The DuPontian to Mr. Harry M. Diller, who has become a definite part of the tradition of DuPont High School. Although his actual class work is spent with boys in his shop, nevertheless, both boys and girls and faculty alike call on Mr. Fix-it for.help with everything from a major repair job to a broken shoe heel. For this and for his willing guidance, we gratefully salute our friend, Mr. Diller. 4

Qur Principal In doing a bit of writing for the year- book that has as its theme, Fairyland, one runs into quite a problem. I wish to present a strong feeling that the present-day school has more wonders than any fairy would have whispered to your parents in the happy days of the past quarter century. Our students take for granted things that their parents doubted were practical. I am no Grand- Dad, yet I can recall when the radio was a crude playtoy. A set of earphones dangled from one's ears, while you twisted some dials to get the most awful squeals and yowlings, with a splattering of music and voices. Some opined it would never catch on. Nowadays, in your study of Com- munication and Transportation, more Fairy Doings are discovered. Dad and Mother did their courting under the watchful eye of The Man in the Moon. If the Fairies continue to weave their magic spell over engineering design, your children may be doing their sparking on Mars and honeymooning on the Moon. 6 The wife has been freed by the magic wand of electricity that washes and dries, scrubs and fries, kills germs and flies. All her drudgery goes down the drain. So it goes in the Fairyland of everyday affairs. What about those other sprites that infilter our dreams and pester our aspir- ations? Most faculty members deplore the daydreaming student. But who is to say that the occasional out-of-bounds attention is not the same dreams of youth that brought Lindbergh into the air, and Edison to light the world. Always, the thoughts of Youth are long, long thoughts. And the good Fairy that guides the thinkers of our high school boys and girls will be quite happy when she totals the score for today's DuPont High. We believe they have learned that a Fairyland is wonderful, but only those who combine hard work with dreams will be able to live it again and again in the passing years with pride as well as pleasure. Mr. E. F. Garrity Principal of DuPont High School
