DEDICATION The Senior Class of 1961 is pleased to dedicate this annual to Mr. Edgar G. Pruet who has guided our act ivities for the past four years, and the ac- tivities of the preceeding classes for a total of almost fifteen years. Mr. Pruet was graduated from the University of Alabama, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1928 and from Peabody University, Nashville, Tennessee, with a Master of Arts degree in 1938. Due to his accelerated university courses, Mr. Pruet had little time for athletics during his school years, but he served as both a football and a basketball coach in his early teaching jobs. Dur- ing these years, he says, he taught everything but home economics. He often taught as long as ten periods a day. For the seven years prior to coming to George Washington in 1946, he served as principal of Pulaski High School in Pu- laski, Virginia. Here, his duties include planning school policy, making the master calendar, and generally su- pervising operations of the school. He is not only the number one Prexie, he is also active in the community. He is a member of the Kiwanis club and a Sunday School teacher at the First Baptist Church. He is also on the Executive Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. His interest in tropical fish is well known to students of GW; we are less aware of his deep interest in landscaping the school, and his do-it yourself projects around his home in Fairfax. This dedication is only a small token of the gratitude which this class feels for its principal. 4
