Mr. Vern J. Rice, Principal One wonders how it feels. to be a powerful force in the lives of others and how it appears to one who has guided and encouraged young minds to achieve personal and service goals. During his years as Principal of Leuzinger High School, Mr. Rice, this year, will have sent 6291 graduates out into the world. These people have gone into all walks of life. Locally, we have dentists, engineers, educators, busi- ness men and women, and homemakers who call Leuzinger their home school. We all feel iustly proud of the place that Mr. Rice holds in the field of education. He is known all over the state in educational circles as a wise educational counselor. He is known in our com- munity for both his educational leadership and for his dedication to community service. We, at Leuzinger, know him best for his years of wise counsel, his dedication to education's highest goals, and his enthusiasm to make Leuzinger High School the best school in the country. Mr. Rice, it is with utmost pride and sincere grati- tude that we dedicate the 1960 Pylon to you. 66 ream rain, eafie
