In this age of haste and self-centeredness, it is indeed unusual and gratifying to know a person who has patiently dedicated her life to helping others. Such a person is Miss Gladys Damon, a very beloved teacher of our school. She has taught her pupils faithfully and well, not only in concrete subjects, but also in the art of being responsible citizens of our town and country. She has offered generously of her love and understanding, and it is not possible for anyone who has met her, however brief the acquaintance, to forget her. She has given untiringly of her energies to further the interests of Holten High School, and she has accomplished this in a very quiet and humble way. There is no person more faithful in attendance at the various school functions. Very seldom, however, does she attend these events alone, but rather, she usually takes with her a group of students who otherwise would have been unable to attend. At foot- ball games, track meets, and other events, she is always present to lend her support to the participants. If Holten High’s team wins, she is naturally exultant; but if it loses, she is there with a comforting word and encour- agement for the activities to come. Since the annual Sweater Benefits were first begun, she has directed this affair. Into these productions she has poured endless hours of toil, but she has never mentioned the fact that she had helped in the slightest DEDICATION to Miss Damon way, even though the program would have been impossible without her. She is a model of all things good. Her understanding and love is unending, and anger rarely, if ever, passes from her lips. To us, she is more than a teacher — she is a friend. She has helped us to make the change from childhood to young adulthood. She is the confidant, the person who is never too busy to listen to a problem, however insignificant it may seem, and she helps to solve them if she is able to do so. She is dedicated to her work and she has gained the admiration of us all. This year, Miss Damon will retire. With her will go much of the warmth and friend- liness of our school. We who are graduating will never forget her, and those who have not been fortunate enough to know her, will be, I think, acutely aware of a void in our school created by the loss of a truly wonder- ful person. To you. Miss Damon, our class of 1960 dedicates this yearbook. We cannot begin to thank you for what you have given us, because there are no words to express our admiration and love for you. We will never forget you, and we hope with all our hearts that your retirement will be long, happy, and filled with whatever you desire. For your understanding and faith in us, for your courage and devotion, we utter a humble but sincere, “thank you”. Janet R. Joyce, ’60 Page Four t

IN MEMORY of Mr. Marcus Last summer the faculty and student body of Holten High School learned with grief of the death of one of their members — Mr. William Marcus. We, his students, knew Mr. Marcus as a teacher of history, math, and student driving. But, we also knew what type of man he was. When one thinks of “Bill” Marcus, one thinks at once of the phrase “good- natured.” These words can but poorly express his nature. He was always genuinely friendly to his students, yet he was able to preserve this friendly atmosphere without letting the essential student-teacher relationship break down. There were also more serious facets of his personality, and through his humor, his seriousness of purpose prevailed. For instance, with a stu- dent driver he could joke about a near accident, but he was always serious in his instructions for correcting the error that led to the danger. In Mr. Marcus we had a fine example of what a teacher should be — friendly with his students, but always trying to improve them by impart- ing his own experience to them. Page Five
