N A DEDICATION TO DEDICATION Our teachers leave their mark on us. For twelve years Mr. Harold B. Putney has served as an example of unselfish dedication to the men of Dwight School. Whether he is teaching an English class, holding a meeting of the library committee, or directing a scene in a future drama group presentation, Mr. Putney's warm sincerity and gentle humor impress and encourage us. rs. - We squirm in English class when we are caught doing an assignment the lazy wayg we grumble a bit when we are fined for overdue books in the libraryg our pride is a little hurt during a rehearsal when we are told that our diction is atrociousg but we grin over our English Regents grades, we take pride in our efficient library, and we applaud like crazy at a school play. Mr. Putney's mark on us is deep indeed. Because he is a good guy, we dedicate our annual with gratitude and admiration to: ' MR. HAROLD BION PUTNEY ..3-. 1, 3 -1, i eff M Q- gait.

SEVENTY-NINE YEARS OF DEDICATION X Dwight School has for seventy-nine years been dedicated to the liberal college preparatory education of the young men of New York. Founded in 1880 as the New York School of Languages at the present site of Town Hall, the school soon became primarily the New York prep school for Yale University. In 1889 the Board of Di- rectors received permission from Dr. Timothy Dwight, then President of Yale, to use his name in the title of the school. By the turn of the century, Dwight School had become the largest private prep school in the country and certainly one of the most respected. x x K At its present location for the last six years fthe school was formerly located at 72 Park Avenuej, Dwight has continued in its unique way to educate the whole man- intellectually, morally, physically, and socially. Old in experience, young in spirit, the school reaches out daily to her young men, helping each one to grow in wisdom and in grace. The seventy-nine years of dedication have borne fulfillment. In the heart of Dwight School burns the flame of longevity-the strong sincerity of dedication to youth -2-

OUR HEADMASTER - MR. WINTON L. MILLER, JR. Lehigh University One of Mr. Millers favorite quotations is Polonius's advice to his son Laertes, This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. With this precept in mind, he has always been most sympathetic and considerate to us when we have erred or floundered in our course, whether it be academic or ethical. It is with regret that we leave his paternal jurisdiction. It is with confidence that we face our future, knowing that, if we follow his maxim, we have nothing to fear. .4-
