anxiety of attempting to determine who is most worthy of the honor. The 1957 Pylon Staff reached an impasse in attempting to narrow the selection of our two dedicees. The problem was wisely re- solved, we believe, by making a dual selection- to Mr. Cahraman and Mr. Reimer. Without ques- tion, these two teachers have earned the respect and endearment of students, faculty and adminis- tration that permits us to make this dedication. You can't sing with your mouth, it has to come from the heart, urges Mr. Arthur Reimer, nomi- nee for the 1957 Pylon dedication. Vitality, sin- cerity, and inspiration seem to perpetually eminate from Mr. Reimer, Chairman of the Leuzinger High School Music Department. An eager Christian leader, he is a Campus Fellowship sponsor and has been for many years. He also conducts the Senior glee, Treble Clef, and various instrumental classes, one of which is piano. Mr. Reimer's classes take on a new meaning when he demonstrates his mastered ability at the piano and saxaphone. This makes for a closer re- lationship between teacher and student, for the student realizes that the teacher not only under- stands the musical notes but the instrument itself. He expects the best from his students and when working with him it is hard not to give of your best. Many students have profited from his instruc- tion and interest in giving talent a chance to make itself known. Each year when the talent show is presented, the vocalists receive special coaching from Mr. Reimer. But with all his activities and groups, Mr. Reimer is never to busy to stop and listen to the problems of students no matter how complex the problem or how busy he is. He originated and now conducts the famous and reknown Laudesti singers, a group which specializes in religious hymns. One can see by his many achievements that music is not just a subject to be taught but rather to be lived. Mr. Reimer began his teaching career as director of the Leuzinger Marching Band in 1927. He now holds a Master's degree in Science from the Uni- versity of Southern California. It is the pleasure of the Yearbook Staff to dedi- cate the 1957 PYLON to a congenial entleman, an accomplished musician and a wonder ul teacher. Put more of your heart into it, feel your music deeply, urges Arthur Reimer, head of the Music Department as he leads his choir in song.

With this thought in mind we o en our book of memories to you, Mr. Thomas Ca raman. Seldom seen without a smile, Mr. Cahraman concentrates upon his task of completing forms needed for stu- dent activity excursions. Selected as Director of Student Activities, a newly created position on a part-time experi- mental basis, Mr. Cahraman is likely to become its full time head as pupil enrollment at Leuzinger increases yearly. f . : :fn L ra, I 72 , 195 ' 'I- il iligg . School annuals are often dedicated to faculty members as a token of respect and admiration to an outstanding educator. In a sense, every dedication is but a symbol of the gratitude and esteem in which a student body holds its entire faculty. No single dedication repre- sents the host of remaining teachers to whom a yearbook could well be dedicated. Every Pylon staff goes through the turmoil and Well known to all students as the jolly, under- standing companion, teacher, and friend who always has a smile on his face and a joke on his lips, Mr. Thomas Cahraman has been chosen for the dedication of the 1957 Pylon. A more amiable and pleasant person could scarcely have been found for the sponsor of the service club, Knights, and as the first Director of Student Activities. Mr. Cahraman has unlimited faith in students, he always has time for a friendly, informal chat, or guidance for the individual. He came to Leuzinger in March of 1951. He has given of his time as Senior Class sponsor. In this capacity he directed the organization of the senior prom. He instigated Senior Day and throughout the year worked on preparing a com- pound color movie of the major school events for the years '54, '55, '56, and '57, A man who is quite staunch in his belief of the worth and value of the integrity of the indi- vidual and in a strong America, Mr. Cahraman is to be credited with encouraging scholarship, leadership, and school tradition. Even after a long day's work, he teaches government classes in the evening to immigrants preparing for citizenship. He also teaches these classes and adult education government during the summer. .
