in memoRum 30hn eC)monC)s 1953 - 1966 The yearbook staff proudly dedicates the 1967 Garfield GLEANER to the memory of John Edmonds, 1953 - 1966. During the year one of our most courageous students died of cyst- ic fibrosis, a disease he had been living with for 13 years. John Edmonds knew of his handicap but was determined to be brave and to make the most of his short life. His parents report that John died W ' ith love in his heart for his friends and relatives. He was a fine boy and we will always remember him with fondness and admiration. I believe it is important to relate a short story about John. John was weak physically because of the disease. Last year in October as he ' alked home after school, two larger boj s began bullying Jolm, and made life unpleasant for him. He did his best to avoid the boys, but the bulging continued for a number of days. Although Jolm never used his physical handicap as an excuse, he finally had to report the problem to his father and to me. We caught the boys who had spoiled a few days in the short life of John Edmonds , but Jolin did not want to. get the boys in trouble.- Tnis consideration of others was tj pical of his attitude. I ' m sure if more people shared his attitude, the world would be a better place in which to live. We will miss John, but we are grateful we knew him. Mr. Rowe, Principal

pRincipAl ' s message A former student of mine returned recently for a visit. We talked about his future, and as he left, I wished him good luck. He asked, Wouldn ' t you be impressed if I re- turned a few years later driving an expensive car and smoking a big cigar? I admitted that I might take a second look, but that I agree with Albert Einstein who said, Try not to become a person of ' success ' , but rather try to become a person of ' value ' . He is considered ' successful ' in our time who gets more out of life than he receives. I am not sure if my visitor understood the quotation but I am sure you do. I have en- joyed working with you. Congratulations for your achievements at Garfield! I wish you good luck as you become young people of value. Robert N. Rowe Mr. Rowe confers with Student Body President Brenda Daniels.
