EDIC TIG THE CLASS OF 1947 WISHES TO DEDICATE THE COMPASS to a man who will be remembered not only by those in his music classes who recognize and appreciate his untiring zeal but also by the entire student body who have often enjoyed the products of his remarkable talent, wit, and ingenuity. This man is never too busy to help with a program, we students frequently see him hurrying through the halls of G. W., tirelessly arranging an assembly or making last-minute plans for a broadcast. Memories of him will include his warm, friendly smile and genuine good humor, his patience and fortitude. VVhether he is reprimanding or praising his pupils, both sparkling wit and unusual tact are evident. Another remembrance, which we can be thankful for, is that of his continual effort to inspire his musicians to greater achievement. No matter what conditions prevail, he and his band are always present at the football games. A truer or a more serious sense of cooperation could never be found elsewhere. Because of these wonderful qualities which have endeared him to all of us, the HCOMPASSH is dedicated to our own Mr. Phi-lip Lester.
