Captain Edmond De .laive was among the faculty members. Before' coming to Gulf Park. Captain De .laive received a Bachilier-es-Lettres degree from the College Rachez. continued his studies at the Sorbonne and College de France in Paris, was Literature Critic at the Universite des Annales in Paris. and traveled extensively in Europe. Central and South America. Africa. and the Orient, He received his title of Captain. the name by which he is affectionately known to the students and faculty, while serving in the French army in World War l. While here, he was conferred with the honor of Oflicier d' Academic. the first degree of an honorary university order created by Napoleon 1 in 1808. Several years later in 1933 he was given the decoration and diploma of Oflicier de 1' Instruccion Publique, the second and highest award of that same order. These are only given to a limited number of persons who are outstanding in the fields of art and literature, and were presented to Captain De Jaive in recogni- tion of the work accomplished by him in the Department of French at Gulf Park College. for his activities as president of a chapter of the National Association of Teachers of French, and for his active' support of that organization. He was national vice president of that body in 1934-35 and national president in 1935-36. He has presented papers before the Foreign Modern Language Association of the Southern Association. and has written several treatises, one of them on Spanish verbs. Captain De .laive continues to contribute articles to The French Rt'l7fPIl', published by the National Association of Teachers of French. He possesses a speaking knowledge of several languages besides his own native French, among them are English, German. ltalian. Portuguese. and Spanish. All of these accom- plishments have been in addition to the teaching of French. Spanish, and German. and his duties as a member of the faculty of Culf Park College. Because he has contributed so much of his time. experience. and efforts to Gulf Park, Because he has contributed so much to the education and inspiration of her students, Because he is outstanding in his chosen field of study, Because he is the only original member of the faculty remaining, Because he has given thirty-six years of loyal service to Gulf Park College, We. the annual staff. are honored to dedicate the 1957 SEA GIYLI. to Captain Edmond De .laive in the year of his retirement. 17 ISCKS ,Nv- Z' f x 1 9 -oqfrn, ii

C ' '. ,r. ,ri n. The Dwyer Family The school year of 1956-57 has been recorded pictorially and verbally on the pages of the SEA GULL. As you glance through this issue of the yearbook, you will be reminded of the diversified activities found on the Gulf Park campus. A closer inspection will reveal the persons and personalities associated with a few or many of the activities. Repeating itself as a theme will be seen the familiar surroundings which furnish the unique setting for these people and these events. We hope that this record will always remind you of the ideals of Gulf Park: earning a knowledge which makes for wisdom. and the opportunity for associations with different personalities and with people from the various geographic areas of this country and from some of those to the south. Our hope. which determines our policy. is that this wisdom and the benefit of these associations will make for each of you a more successful adjustment to the demands of life which you find about you now and with which you will be confronted in the future. lf you are a happier person because of your varied experiences on the Gulf Park cam- pus. then we both shall know that your efforts and our efforts have been worthwhile.
