Falls Church High School - Jaguar Yearbook (Falls Church, VA)

Page 9 text:

t on The climb to the top of the ladder has not been an easy one; we have often been wearied, more often been discouraged; and in our Senior year we have seen the final steps loom in¬ terminably ahead. The other years at Falls Church have been memora¬ ble ones; all have contributed their share of the flavor of high school. But the Senior year is special. There is a uniqueness about endings, a precious quality in having reached the last rung of a ladder. For this reason all activities in our Senior year, all the people we have met and known, make, perhaps, the deepest impressions on us. Mr. Mishou, you occupy a special niche in Falls Church, as we have remembered you over all our high school years. Many of us took your Senior civics and those of us who did not, saw you at our class meetings, guiding us in our particular prob¬ lems. You taught us more than Civics and you guided more than our meetings. Instructing us in gov¬ ernment and man’s dealings with his fellow man, you stressed those same rights and duties in your classrooms, insisting upon politeness in class dis¬ cussions toward each of us by the others. And that is why we dedicate our official record of school life to you, Mr. Mishou, for you are a symbol of our Senior year. You stand for all that we have gained in high school, knowledge, not only of books, but of people, which is the rarer form of wisdom. MR. FRANK H. MISHOU Seniors chat with Mr. Mishou. Page J
