THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH. YIELDING PLACE T0 NEW Morte d'Arthur by Alfred, Lord Tennyson i lim! E F This spring marks not only the end of the 1957-58 school term but also the end of an era in the history of the Meadville Area High School. With the construction of the new senior high building, the present high school will take on a new phase in the educational system of the district. To the old building, we bid a reluctant farewell as we say with Shakespeare, Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety. As we add another chapter to the Bulldog book, we wish to honor the high school building and all it represents to us. 4

A saw. 'Naam Q 'tht f gf, af 1:-jf af 229 . Adelaide deMaison, head of the English Department of the Meadville Area High School, was last year selected as Teacher of the Year on the Secondary Level by the Northwestern District Convention of the P. S. E. A. One of ten teachers nominated by state departments of education in all parts of the nation, she was named to Mc Call's Honor Roll of Teachers. Miss deMaison has given inspiration to teachers and pupils alike. Inside the classroom, her desire for perfection and her interest in the students motivate her teaching. Evidence of her success at the twelfth grade level is shown by the high rank achieved by her students in col- lege placement tests. She has shown interest in her field as related to the whole school curriculum. The forensic program of the high school has been developed under her direction, and her debaters have been state champions. Outside the classroom, Miss deMaison has served on evaluation com- mittees and has acted as chairman of P. S. E. A. groups as well as the first Crawford County Workshop. A civic-minded citizen and participant in all prominent community functions and activi- ties, she has been an enthusiastic planner, leader, and worker. Miss deMaison's enthusiasm, progressiveness, and untiring energy serve as a stimulus to all who work with her. Her skill in human relations, scholarship, optimistic point of view, and sparkl- ing personality make her the master teacher. And gladly would Cslhe learn, and gladly teach. Miss deMaison is pre- sented the Teacher of the Year award by Dr. Charles Miller and Rob- ert Trace. 3
