PHILO C. DUNSMCRE, Superintenclent I congratulate you seniors at Libbey for hav- ing recognized the importance of completing your high school work. If your theme, All the lV0l'!d'J fl Stage, has any special significance for 1964, it is that the scenes are changing with awesome rapidity, demanding that every person learn early in life that one's education must never stop. Completing high school is only an expression. Acting one's part calls for cyclonic adjustments. Security in routine and habit may be lost without warning. But the new vistas and opportunities created for the person who keeps himself prepared will make the loss of security something to be desired. I congratulate you on being catapulted onto the adult stage when so many changes are taking place. Every amazing accomplishment challenges you to believe, to have faith. It is not for you to say it can't be done . Your generation will replace cannot with Wl1en and how . It may mean but little to place a man upon the moon, but what such an act would foretell of events to come in your world defies the imagination. Yours is the privilege of acting a part exciting and creative in an im- petuous new world. -Philo C. Dunsmore 1

ibecbcafion It is with sincere affection and deep respect that we, the Class of 1964, dedicate the Enlelimz to Miss Grace Henderson, a teacher with that rare combination of true dedication, un- usual ability, and sparkling personality. Former students re- member her with a vividness and high regard accorded to only the best teachers. Miss Henderson has lived most of her life in Toledo and was graduated from Scott High School. She received her B.S. in Ed. from Ohio State University and has done graduate work at the University of Michigan and the University of Colorado. Her first teaching position was at Pickett School. In 1927 she came to Libbey, where she has taught all types of history courses. In addition to her class duties, Miss Henderson has made a unique contribution to many Libbey student organizations. She was advisor to the Zetalethean Literary Society for many yearsg the Student Council was strong and active under her leadership for five years, and for ten years she guided the senior classes through many successful activities. She has served capably as advisor to the National Honor Society for the last two years. Her travels have been extensive in the United Statesg she has visited Hawaii, and she has toured Europe three times. She is an active member of many organizations, and her hob- bies include bridge, bowling, and swimming. Miss Henderson's plans for the future are indefinite, but they do include travel and more extensive club work. She has a really wonderful life ahead if there is truth in the following lines from a short poem by Mary Ainge DeVere: Then give fa lhe world lhe liar!

To the Senior Class of 1964-you are to be congratulated not only for successfully com- pleting four years of high school but also for your ability to adjust to changing conditions. After two years of extended schedule and one year of readjustment, you have finally had one year of nearly normal high school life. You are to be commended for your fine leadership and school loyalty. During this, your senior year, you have seen our country face a terrible real-life tragedy- the assassination of President Kennedy-and come through it with courage and a continuity in government that reassured the whole world. Soon it will be the privilege and duty of all of you as responsible citizens to help maintain the traditions and institutions that kept us on an even keel in this frightening time. We hope your training at Libbey has helped to prepare you for this role on the American stage. We are confident that you will play your part with honor. -Loy W. Rusie Libbey students are proud of Mr. Rusie's ortrait which hangs in the lobby. It was ainted by John Swalley, a Toledo artist, for the Senior Class of 1962 and presented to Mr. usie at their banquet. LOY W. RUSIE, Principal
