Holten High School - Onion Yearbook (Danvers, MA)

Page 8 text:

THE CORNELIAN This year was a memorable one for the Yearbook staff. Early in the year we talked of changing the title. There was much discussion of this by the Seniors for and against. However, when it was learned that Mr. Dunn was retiring this year, every- one was delighted to rename the Yearbook The Cornelian. We hope that because of the many years of service that Mr. Dunn has given to Holten High that this title will be acceptable to all of the classes which follow us. Under the leadership of Mrs. Madaline D. Nolan, our literary advisor, our committees have worked to complete the Yearbook just a little earlier this year so that Mr. Dunn might have it before he leaves in June. Mr. Louis Mangifesti to whom we are greatly indebted for advising our Art section, has spent much time with his committee in making The Cornelian a fitting dedication to Mr. Dunn. Mrs. Doris Hughes, our Business Advisor, has worked particularly hard this year to make money in advertisements to make this larger copy possible. To all who have helped in any way, a hearty from the Class of ’58. ‘Thank You’

His words are bonds His oaths are oracles His love sincere His thoughts immaculate.” What more appropriate and apt description could there be for our beloved principal, Mr. Dunn? It is a fitting tribute for a man who has given so much of his life to the education and guidance of the pupils of Holten High. For many years he has given his time and energy for the betterment of the students under his charge. Unceasingly he has devoted himself to making better and responsible citizens of the student body. Not treating his position as merely a job, Mr. Dunn has often spent time in aiding pupils far more than his position demanded. Men as noble and unselfish as he are seldom found in this modern busy world. He has shown the devotion of a shepherd to his flock as he has served and counseled the students of Holten High through the years. Always he placed the welfare of his students foremost in his aims. He has come to know his students intimately and has, through the many experiences of his work here at Holten High, become almost a father to them. Through countless experiences with Mr. Dunn, his student body has come to know him as a friend, always fair in judgment, honest, sincerely willing to assist whenever possible, wise, and kind. Mr. Dunn, by his high and noble character, has become a symbol of all that is upstand- ing and honorable in life and the students and alumni can well be proud of having known him.
