DEDICATION Leslie R. Severinghaus As Headmaster of The Haverford School, Dr. Leslie R. Severinghaus has executed his duties at Haverford with much wisdom and zeal. He realizes that the future depends on the young men of today, and he has dedicated his life to their future, and well-being. It is with this giving from his heart in mind that we dedicate the 1965 Haligoluk to Dr. Severinghaus. Dr. Severinghaus has been with Haverford for many years. He joined the School staff as head of the English Department in 1929 and held that position until 1942, when he became Headmaster. In addition, Dr. Severinghaus holds many other positions, such as membership on the Board of Trustees at Cornell University and the Council for Religion in Independent Schools, and member- ship in the Country Day School Headmaster's Association fhe was its President in 1960-611. He is also active in such international organizations as the International School Services, the Experiment in International Living, and the Y.1VI.C.A. We of the Senior Class regard with much admiration and gratitude the integrity with which Dr. Severinghaus has advised and influenced every person connected with the School. The Haligoluk feels that this dedication is but a small tribute to the many years of excellent service that Dr. Sev- eringhaus has rendered to Haverford.

IN MEMORIAM Paul Herbert Gottshall 1897-1964 .... to teach young people the meaning of life and the proper use of knowledge .... These words, taken from a letter to the Headmaster, were written by P. Herbert Gottshall and graphically express his approach to his chosen profession. Mr. Gottshall came to Haverford twenty years ago and was at that time a teacher with seventeen years of experience. His course in chemistry included frequent discussions on the philosophy of science, and caused his students to think as well as to acquire knowledge. Mr. Gottshall maintained an avid interest in the modern trends in chemistry. He kept current with the numerous changes in chemical theory that have occurred in the last decade. He instituted the C.H.E.M. Study course at Haverford so his students could better understand chemical theory and be freed of the memorizing of factual data. He also worked constantly to develop the chemistry portion of the Third Form science course into a more meaningful experience. The faculty as well as the many students who studied under Mr. Gottshall's guidance will long remember him as a person who was willing to listen, and who had an inner confidence that gave strength to all who knew him.
