Mr. Carl Schweiger Mrs. Dorothy Shaw Mr. Carl Schweiger, a mathematics teacher' at Abraham Lincoln High School since 1962, died during the summer. Mr. Schweiger began his teaching career in the Denver Public Schools in 1949 and served as a mathematics teacher at Morey junior High School before coming to Abraham Lincoln. A man of many interests and abilities, Mr. Schweiger was particularly noted at Lincoln for his interest in consumer mathematics. His background in business and salesmanship gave a special depth and effectiveness to his teaching in this field. It was he who started the class in consumer mathematics at Lincoln and helped author a textbook which is used today in several schools. Additionally, he is remembered for his graciousness toward all and for his special concern for helping young people. He never said no to a student who wanted to take one of his classes, even though the classes more often than not, were full. There was always room for one more to share the practical insights he had developed over many years in the business and teaching worlds. Among the staff at Lincoln, he will be long remembered for his friendliness, his willingness to share ideas and techniques, and his enthusiasm for work. Mrs. Dorothy Shaw retired in january after twenty-eight years of teaching in Denver schools and an additional seven years in a Southwestern community. On the occasion of her retirement, she reaffirmed her strong commitment to teaching cultural differences and stressing academic excellence. Unless we teach everybody's contributions and unless we administer a 'taxpayers' test' and refuse to graduate the incompetent, the whole purpose of bussing will be negated. Mrs. Shaw rejoiced particularly in the boys and girls of all colors and creeds who have made her years rewarding and stimulating. The love they have given her proves that young people do not automatically respond with prejudice and bias. In her years of teaching, Mrs. Shaw emphasized truth seeking and Christian civility. The uncomfortable truth is ever more significant, enduring, and satisfying than the comfortable, short term policies of ignorance, and we must . . . restore the unenlightened with clean and loving hands. Mrs. Shaw's leagacy to Lincoln is perhaps best expressed in her own words: Lincoln is the best or at least one of the top schools in the city. We should strengthen this reputation so that we will ever remain proud alumni by remembering to work when we work, play when we play, and be honest about all of it. The faculty of our school is tremendous - dedicated, intelligent, scholarly, and warm. Students should not spend three years without touching them deeply and purposefully and by participating openly and broadly in all school activities. The four marks of the successful person are in his skill in communication, his involvement in the open market of ideas as well as items, his relating of the laws of man to the laws of God, and his non-polluting tool making. By these four, you can evaluate an individual or a society and best keep the commandment 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind, and with all thy strength and thy neighbor as thyself.' Mrs. Shaw has been honored by many awards in her career. None, perhaps, indicates better the quality of her service than the Teacher of the Year Award, receive d in 1975. Mrs. Shaw leaves Lincoln High School with the sincere wishes of all of us for a happy and rewarding retirement. ...MCJVl'
