TO MR. DEMOREST: IEXCERPT FROM A FAREWELL ADDRESS I The baclcward loolc presents a pleasant picture. During the years you have achieved much. It is no mean achievement to have stayed as principal of the same school for nearly a third of a century. It is a greater achievement to have talcen a school at its inception and to have woven into its very warp and woof the ideals of your own character, to have created an idealism that has become traditional. For that thing which we call Scott spirit is the expression of your own character, of your integrity, your honesty, your nobility, of your love of people, and faith in humanity. But the greatest of all your achievements is that you have lived that all may love you. You have never been lcnown to do any- thing rude, thoughtless, or unlcind. Al- ways you were a gentleman. It well may be said of you, as it was of Marcus Brutus, Cl His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, This was a man. There is not a boy or girl who has passed under your tutelage but he has been the better for it. There is neither man nor woman, who has been associated with you, who bears you any malice. ln truth you can say, as that same Marcus Brutus said of GIVEN BY MISS CLARE HUMPHREYI his followers, l have found no man but he was true to me. As you turn the corner in that part of your journey that leads away from Scott, you do not go alone. The love, good wishes, and everlasting respect of all loyal Scott students, past and present, go with you. They accompany you in such abund- ance that they fairly wrap you round, they close in upon you until you become im- mersed in this ocean of love and good will. Your example of living a truly good life will long stand out as an ideal. You, Mr. Demorest, will always be remembered, and Scott will be proud of you forever. thirteen

EDWARD L. BOWSHER O 1945 marlcs the eighth in the series of long years of service given by our superin- tendent of schools, Mr. E. L. Bowsher. Be- sides the many improvements achieved in the past, Mr. Bowsher is worlcing in many organizations, both in the city and out, for furthering the welfare of public schools in the years to come. He feels the necessity of a good education for all and expresses this by saying, Never in the history of American schools have those engaged in education needed GXK9 the sympathetic understanding and co-op- eration of citizens ofthe community. Never in the history of America has the local com- munity, the state and the nation depended on teachers and those engaged in the job of education for help in a thousand ways as they will in the critical times to come. Therefore, the schools must meet this mul- titude of social challenges that this democ- racy of ours, this land where children of all classes are given a chance, may not pass into oblivion.
