li DEDICATED TO ... MR. WILLIAM W. SMITH Although we have been influenced by many in our school life, to us you have been one of the most valuable teachers. With your generosity, your patient under¬ standing, your thoughtfulness, your wise counsel and interest, you have influenc¬ ed our traits in scholastic ability, potentiality and personal life. Memories of your kindness as well as that familiar slang, “Ah! Boogaloo,” will have a special place in our hearts that shall linger forever. In evidence of our highest esteem and gratitude, we dedicate this edition of “The 1968 Forget-Me-Not” to you, our Mr. William W. Smith. 6

Even the name “Dunbar” reaches back to a man who dared to be different, to venture, to be creative, to be a poet for all ages. In this long-lived beauty, in a tradition of excellence, Dunbar’s Staff has dedicated itself to the task of creating stu¬ dents who are capable of making new contributions, not simply of repeating what other generations have done. We recognize that there must be a pertinent relationship, a purposeful interaction between student and teacher, home and community, nation and the world. Ready-made trends of thought, the collecting of facts, disseminating specific knowledge, memorizing, and recall are all important, but they must be related to the other rational powers of the students, such as, organizing, selecting, imagining, analyzing, classifying, comparing and evaluating creatively and pur¬ posefully. It would please us to think that our boys and girls will seek to use i deas and knowledge gained here to fashion “a better way of life”, to devise fresh and positive ways of meeting future purposes. Our age. The Great Society, demands the most of every individual. In this climate of change, the graduate will find his potential place only in so far as he has committed his life to the unfinished task of creatively probing for signifi¬ cant opportunities as a life-long learner. It is increasingly clear, that to cope acceptably with our environment, stu¬ dents must pass successfully through the doors of high school, college and or some similar formal training. Our age demands it and Dunbar’s tradition asks no less of its students! May God bless each of you to live abundantly and creatively, making your own footprints upon the sands of time!
