Because we strive to create a yearbook with the same enthusiastic approach to imaginative thinking that prompts Oglethorpe to inspire eager minds to active endeavor, we wish to dedicate our efforts to a man whose own enthusiasm and eagerness has guided our preparation, contributed to our GROWTH, and encouraged our achievements. The 1962 Yamacraw, therefore, is dedicated to . . . POP CROW Pop has said, To me Oglethorpe means an ideal environment for education-freedom, oppor ' tunity, and a spirit of responsibihty. Through his work as teacher and counselor, Pop has made the Oglethorpe environment more than an ideal; it is an actual experiment in learning. He has urged the students of Oglethorpe to digest knowledge and to transform it into energy. Pop said, I would hope to contribute to the philosophy that knowledge is simply a tool of life ' s trade. He has certainly made such a contribution. We, who are now in the process of reach ' ing for the tools with which to shape our lives, do gratefully and affectionately acknowledge Pop Crow as a valuable teacher and a sincere friend.
