A zest for living, an enthusiasm for the profession, and an edu- cational background enriched by travel have made Mr. Packer an integral part of our school's success. Mr. Packer, a member of the educational fraternity Phi Delta Kappa, received his B.A. in Ed. from Toledo University and his M.A. in guidance and psychology from Ohio State University. Satisfying his desire to travel, Mr. Packer, accompanied by his wife who teaches Commercial Art at Waitc- High School, has traveled to the Caribbean Islands, to all but three of our states, to Mexico twice, and to Europe six times. Always broadening the horizons of his life, in 1050 he made a tour around the world by freighter and repeated this pleasant experience by plane in l957. Endeavoring to share these happy moments and exotic experiences with others, Mr. Packer extended his teaching be- yond the halls of Libbey to the University of Toledo where he gave accredited and illustrated lectures on his travels. ln addition to his success here at Libbey as an instructor in draft- ing, Mr. Packer has designed since 1926 more than a hundred small homes and buildings in Toledo. A valuable contribution to our city was his plan for the Trail Medical Center. His great knowledge of architecture has been shared with others in many articles and lectures throughout his career, Distinguishing Mr. Packer from the other men on the Libbey faculty is the lact that he is the last to retire among those who were here when Libbey first opened its doors. During his thirty- seven years as a teacher at Libbey he has proved his tremendous versatility and willingness to serx e. The students at Libbey who for many years benefited from Mr. Packers vast knowledge and experience are truly appreciative of his loyal service and extend to him many wishes for future happiness. Recognizing his myriad talents and achievements at school and at the First Presbyterian Church in Maumee, we, the Senior Class of 1960, are proud to dedicate this edition of the lllclitzfz to our respected teacher, Mr. Edward Packer. 7960

Mr. Rusie's gracious personality and his en- during loyalty to Libbey will have a lasting ef- fect upon our lives, for his sincerity and friend- liness have impressed us with some idea of the nobility of character possessed by a great man and, even more, a gentleman. No matter what pressing problems are on his busy schedule, Mr. Rusie, with his characteristic good humor, is never too busy to listen to our urgent problems, applaud our triumphs, or greet us with a re- assuring smile. Whether he is congratulating a top scholar or arousing the football team to greater efforts, Libbey is always foremost in his thoughts. For his fairness, patience, and in- terest in our every problem, we, the graduat- ing class of 1960, proudly salute our sincere and beloved principal. LQY W. RUSIE Principal Mr. Rusie confers with the officers of the Student Council: Gary McLar- gin, sergeant-at-arms, Sue West, secre- tary-treasurerg Ron Curtis, vice-presi- dentg and John Petterson, president.
