The Worst thing about the business of being a principal is the constant tendency of the school population to graduate. While parents and friends congratulate you on Com- mencement Day, I regret your going. The rules of the game donlt permit regret to the point of interference with the inevitability of diplomas. Nevertheless if I must be frank, I must sign myself sincerely but ruefully your friend. 5.401

TO THE MEMORY OF OUR FRIEND AND TEACHER, MR. DULEY THE CLASS OE 1958 DEDICATE THIS BOOK KNEW Mr. Duley, and I am only one of the thousands of students who remember the short, stocky little figure of a seaman's steady-sure bearing, that gigantic personality found in the incomparable wit, the patient teaching, and the understanding friendship of this man. Well I can see the many-wintered spats which always came forth at Novembefs blasty call to order, the brown felt hat, the front brim of which shaded his keen lively eyes from the weather, or the sun, when he whittled at a miniature barque. In the classroom his voice was never raised above ordinary pitch, his words and thoughts energy-creating. Punctuating his teachings with jokes of which he often said, When you take my course, you've got to take the jokes that go along with it ..., 'I brought the pleasantries of a personal beauty rarely gained by sticking to the text. The last chapel talk before Mr. Duley's retirement found rows of girls just a little thoughfully meditative, with more than a few lumps in many throatsg and Mr. Duley himself, quietly, as of old, interpreting the state of affairs in the world for the last time as an active faculty member. September, with the empty little house next to Revell, it almost seemed as if Northfield had lost a cog in its valuable machineryg but, on the twenty-sixth of December it gained the lost link when, in Gloucester, down where the ocean is prettiest and the ships come in, Mr. Duley gave his heart up to the God in whom he believed, and not indirectly, to the world that knew him. 4
