DEDIBEITIUII Many ol' us first saw him as the scholarly gentleman who came to our grammar school one day, advised us about the various courses in il. M. C. Durfee High School, and urged us to choose the curriculum which would best prepare us to attain our goal in life. lllost of us knew him as our class advisor in the sophomore year and as vice-president in the Technical building. Some of us knew him then as a disciplinarian, when, tardy or truant or guilty of infractions ol' other school rules, we presented ourselves before him to be ad- monished-or punished. All too few of us have known him as a teacher. For good or l'or ill. his beloved Latin lV has been removed from the category of required in the academic course, and though many have acquired the funda- mentals of the language in a year or two, few have persevered to the fourth year class, where reading the Aeneid with him becomes more a pleasure than fulfillment of a task imposed. Sitting with him as he expounds the literal meaning of the text ami then translates the words of one of the world's greatest poets into a philosophy of life, one senses that this, after his love of wife and children, is the great love of his life, Durate, et vosmet rebus servate secundisf' he reads, and then translates, 'tEndure to the end and re- serve yourselves for better fortunes. Or, Stunt sua praemia laudi ees Worth finds its due reward. Leaving school to make our way in the world, what better advice could we take with us? This has been his life - teaching - inspiring his pupils through the medium of thoughts beautifully expressed in a language regarded for centuries as symbolic of culture, yet as modern and practical as our law and our sciences, which resort to it for their terminology.
