I-Ie has done more than his share for the past six years. During his first two years at Holding he was a boy's dorm supervisor, counseling them and disciplining them, he won their respect and obedience. Q In the six years he has been here as the P.E. teacher he has also coached the basketball and baseball teams, During this year, our first in which we have had our new gymnasium, he has worked especially hard in encouraging school spirit, scheduling games and in giving extra time to sponsoring evening recreation on week nights for dormitory students. c In addition to his sports activities, Mr. Mejia has served as a class sponsor several years since he has come to Holding. In any place where he might serve, he gives sacrificially of his time, money, and strength. We are challenged by the spirit which he has himself and for which he stands. Because of what he means to us we thank him by naming him the Teacher of the Year.

W' .,.-, Q 1 -f.ff'.V 1' 2. 0 il 3' S ENT sei-NTEN ff SUP f' A x. f Dear Students of Holding Institute: Of the many values offered to you here, nothing is more lasting, more personal, more challenging, and more fruitful for the meaning of living, for your own happiness and sense of well-being, than that of FRIENDSHIP. A friend is a person who shares withus a tie of mutual understanding and respect, who is constantly seeking for and protecting our own best interests, as we do for his, who constantly seeks to inspire us to our best creative efforts, and is never satisfied with an inferior effort on our part. A friend is one who does not condone or approve the things we are tempted to do which are destructive of our own personalities, and who will not share in any action which tends to depreciate us as persons. The days at Holding are a most valuable time for the forming of true friendships which will last a lifetime. We who form the Faculty seek to be remembered, most of all, as your friends who seek to guide you in your learning because of our friendship with One whom we call the Christ. God's richest blessings on each and all of you . H- j Sincerely, -
