•51 FAIRFIELD HIGH SCHOOL 7 A MemMial to- .. . Pearl M. DeKalb We're sure that every studenl who has entered Fairfield High School since that day sixteen years ago when Mr. DeKalb be- gan what was to be over a dec- ade full of advice and guidance, has felt his ability to understand and properly counsel them. Whether it was from the fel- lowship acquired through a weekly Hi-Y meeting, which was always high on his list of interests, or a class of Bible, Spanish, English, mathematics, or science, the result was the same. Perhaps the versatility of his skill was due to the fact that with his teaching duties went his fatherly guidance, which he considered equal to his scholastic responsibilities. The times are countless when he has led the student body through periods of difficulty and trouble. How many Holy Week — Easter — Thanks- giving — and Christmas Services has Mr. DeKalb directed during his span of service to the youth of Fairfield High School? These, too, are countless. The memory of Mr. DeKalb will live in the hearts of the students who knew him, long after these words are forgotten. A TRIBUTE It's not the goodbye service. That I will remember of him. But the way he understood me. And helped me when I came. I want to think of his service In the glory of his God; I want to think of young men He helped along the road. 1 want to remember the way God lived in his daily life; And how he loved the beauty Of flowers, stars and woods! His cheerful way of working. His joking at trouble and task; I want to remember him always As I saw him living in life. So I say goodbye to father As he takes the friendly road To the house of many mansions. He forever made his goal. —VICTOR DEKALB
