Above we have pictures of some of our teachers as they appear outside the classroom. Many of them do interesting and worthwhile things. We would like to mention especially Mr. and Mrs. Elmer J. Bucknell, who are pictured here with Maurice Afoufa, the boy whom the French Club brought to America to live and have our opportunities for a year. Maurice has had a wonderful visit in America seeing places out West as well as our cities of the East,such as New York, Boston, and Washing- ton, D. C. He has been a student like the rest of us and done the same things we do with his wide circle of friends. We are indebted, however, to the Bucknells, who have taken him into their home and treated him like a son. Because of this Maurice could never feel lost or alone and he has had the chance to see how our American families live. It has been a rich and satisfying experience for all of us to see the dream of having a foreigner come to live with us be- come a reality. We will never forget the French Club projects that helped to raise the money for the undertaking and we will never forget the wonderful times we have had with Maurice. We wish him the best of everything in life and we hope that this will be another step in promoting lasting friendship be- tween America and France.

IN APPRECIATION In appreciation of John F. Joyce, whose unequaled ability and patience have made our high school years outstanding and memorable. How can we thank him for the profound imprint he has made on our lives! As a teacher he has more than excelled in bringing to the classroom friendliness, cooperation, and enjoyment. He has not only given his students knowledge in their subjects, but something more important, an insight into the psychological behavior, customs, and manners of peoples all over the world. Without his guidance and interest our senior play and the senior plays of the past could never have been accomplished so professionally, and could never have stimulated so much school spirit and public interest. Mr. Joyce, we the class of ’55, salute you.
