)EBIC ATION to Mr. Vye To dedicate the yearbook of the class of 1961 is at once commonplace and unique. It is common- place by the mere fact that it is dedicated. It is unique because of the person to whom we are honored to dedicate it. Mr. Charles Vye is no ordinary person. No ordinary person could possibly have accom- plished so thoroughly and so rapidly the many, many deeds that he has. Ilis accomplishments would now fill the lives of two ordinary persons. No, Mr. Vye is not ordinary. It was 1931 when Mr. Vye came to Holten High School. It was then that the high school students of this town grew to know and to appreciate fully that a sound mind exists only in a sound body. To Mr. Vye, development of the body was equally as important as training in the classics. How can one possibly devote himself to the arduous task of learning, if the body is not up to par? Does it not follow that the knowledge will also not be up to par. This principle, though oftentimes veiled to the student, was Mr. Vye’s beacon and ideal while here at Holten. Most students, to be sure, know this and realize the value and necessity of it. These are the ones who have profited, are profiting, and will profit from it. At present, Mr. Vye is the Athletic Coordinator of the school system. Here he functions not as the excellent physical education teacher and varsity coach that he was, but on a much larger scale. This position, I am sure must be most opportune to a man such as Mr. Vye because he can affect many more students with his guiding principle. Having been an excellent athlete himself at New York University, Mr. Vye has always recog- nized the fact that varsity athletics does have its problems. This is why he is ever ready and always willing to help our athletes overcome difficulties. Oftentimes he continues moral support long after students have ceased being students. One may assert this is his job, but it is above and beyond all requisites to be a friend; for it is when the chips are down that a true friend comes across with the goods. Certainly by every standard Mr. Vye is a true friend. Yes, Mr. Vye, you are these and much more. You are in sum and total what we want to be. You have achieved what we hope to achieve. You have given of vourself unselfishly; and this is the mark of a man, a true man. Please accept our praise for all you have done for us. We want sincerely to say “thank you” and offer you all possible future success. Charles Devoe Page Four
