Dean of Normal Department F OME men are endowed with qualities of heart and brain that make them loved and honored by all who know Ere! them. In the number of such men stands L. A. Blezek, Dean of the Normal Department of Highland Park Col- lege. As a teacher he has been eminently successful. During the years of his connection with Highland Park College there has been a marked improvement in his department. Dean Blezek is an optimistg there are no clouds in his sky. ' What student, perplexed and discouraged, having gone to him, and having heard his hearty, hopeful, a'You will come out all right, has not gone on his way with quickened zeal and a de- termination to succeed? The moral standard which Dean Blezek holds up before his students is very high, and no greater praise can be paid any teach- A er than that given him by those who have felt his uplifting in- fluence upon their lives. On May 6, he resigned to take up Army Y. M. C. A. work as Superintendent of Educational Instruction at Camp Dodge. He has taught me the deepest meaning of life and has di- rected my steps in the better way. cirigxlfi VL' A -1 a, . hx 'V .,a. . 5'- Llx ,L 1 ..,: I ' I ,fy kk i 5 ff fl?
