DEDICATION WHS' Me f 5 1 RX I X ' My 1 , J W T' S- X 1 6 Ju. 'Q S 4 gl' Rare it is when a person possesses qualities so admirable as this man. As administrator of H, A, M., he has a job in which problems are an every- day thing. He meets each day with an optimistic outlook. He excels in Willing- ness to aid each student in pursuing an education. He enjoys a joke, and his relationship with every student is personal and friendly. He creates an informal atmosphere in his classes. The students are fortunate indeed to have had the leadership of this man. The success we may have attained has been due to his tireless efforts, working in cooperation with us and our parents. His never-ending patience and unceasing helpfulness have contributed greatly toward the happiness and success of these past two years. He has given us guidance and courage to strive toward higher levels, and most of all, he has been our Friend. And so, to you, Mr. A. M. Anderson, in appreciation of your understanding, guidance and assistance, we, the SHIELD Staff of 1960, dedicate this annual.
