I “A teacher is someone with a heart big enough to include a class- room full of kids. A teacher says to himself, ‘Things could be better. Maybe I can help.’ He has the tools of a craftsman and the eye of an artist. A teacher is not a precise, indifferent moldstamper but rather a sculptor seeking, searching, experimenting. He is one who encourages individuality within the framework of social ideals. A teacher is some- one who can still use a slingshot and who can see something logical in hanging upside down from a monkey bar. He is a pied piper, a substi- tute parent, a learned wiseman, a grand inquisitor (at times), and a confidant for some of the most important secrets in the world. Above all, a teacher is a working perfectionist, driving himself to learn as much, see as much and think as much as possible. He knows and feels in him- self that he will always be inadequate. This paradoxically is inspiration for the teacher knows that anything less than the best he can offer is dishonesty to a child.” (From the 1958 Paltzonian) Augustus C.

CLASSES Each of us has a specific goal. When we are young we dream of becoming a ballerina, a nurse, a fireman, a policeman, a baseball player, a model or a host of other things. As we mature some of us will reach these goals, but the major- ity of us will find new and richer fields for our endeavor. As we count the years away we will come to realize that education is the ultimate goal. It alone opens an infinite number of op- portunities to all of us. Though education all horizons can be reached—even those that border on the infinity of space—or beyond space to the very threshold of heaven.
