'Memoryl The Treasury nd Guardian Cf All Things' Mr. John Richard Vernall Respect is the word which summarizes the attitude of others to Mr. John Richard Vernall. He was a man sought out for his opinion because of his iustice, admired because of his courage, and enioyed because of his amiability. Mr. Vernall's insight of all situations, which was so sought by others, probably existed because of the wide range of activities in which he participated. He served the school not only as a teacher, first in the social studies, and later in the physical' education department, but also as a coach for var- ious teams. His enthusiasm for sports and love of young people led him to do recreation council work as well. This is what he did, but the manner in which he did it is the more important thing. ln each undertaking his em- phasis was on the determination and fair play of the individual more than the success. Busy as he was, he always had time to be friendly and was never too busy to discuss personal problems, in every case transferring some of his hope and courage to others. Members of the teams that he coached testify to the strength his presence gave them at games. He was an inspiration to them as he was to many others. Yet, it is not at all strange that this man should inspire respect and courage in others. Young as he was, he had felt more misfortune than many people twice his age. In the short time that Milford knew him, not only did he himself become abruptly halted by a rare disease, but members of his family were also struck by another. But because of his courage, he regained enough strength to return to school in early 1958 and again make himself an integral and active part of it, only to be called from it again a year later, this time never to return. Surely a man who could keep his optimism, his smile, and his hope through these dark times exemplifies the epitome of courage. The teachers and students who knew Mr. Vernall will never forget him, for the lesson in living and courage he rep- resents for them will continue growing in their hearts. This respect, an outgrowth of his strength, will ever be his memoriam at Milford.
