In Memoriam Miss Dorothy H. Alley was a vital member of the language department of our PHS faculty. Her life was filled with outstanding endeavors both in academics and in human relations. A graduate of UCLA, USC, and the Uni- versity of lndiana at Bloomington, Miss Alley majored in several European languages. She could speak Spanish, French, and Russian fluently and was a master of an im- maculate grammar of each. Both an exceptional student and teacher, Dorothy Alley was awarded a scholarship of a year's study in Russia. Of the fourteen years of Miss Alley's tireless and sin- cere dedication to teaching in Pasadena, seven were spent at PHS. With her enthusiasm for foreign languages, she opened frontiers within young minds. To express their appreciation, those who knew Miss Alley have established two funds in her memory: the D. H. Alley Memorial Fund and the Dorothy Alley Bookshelf Fund. We shall always remember Miss Alley as brilliant, youthful, vibrant, and wonderfully brave, with a wide, deep understanding of humanity. Her strong confidence in the ability of youth offered Pasadena High students a new and rewarding challenge. lt is through this great love for knowledge and eager-minded youth that the spirit of Dorothy Alley lives on to guide and encourage us. Bret Davis will be remembered as an easy going, likable sophomore who came to PHS from Marshall Junior High School. During his short time at Pasadena he made loyal friends with students of all grades, and proved an active member of the Pasadena High School Student Body. Bret found special interest in crafts and mechanic shops, and showed a spirited enthusiasm for sports. He established warm relationships with many faculty members through classroom and extra-curricular activities. As a stu- dent Bret demonstrated an academic eagerness and among his friends helped develop unity and enthusiasm in the group. The news of Bret Davis' death deeply touched many of us who knew him. All of PHS feels the loss of this fellow Bulldog.

Dedication ,M y ii umm.. Mr. Jacob Sadoff We the l964 Campus Staff would like to pay special tribute to an outstanding Pasadena High School faculty member who makes teaching the art it should be, and learning the challenge we would like it to be. We dedicate our labors, and the resulting product, Campus 64, to Mr. Jacob Sadoft. Mr. Sadoff, a member of our physical science department at PHS, is a very special mixture of endear- ing and admirable qualities. A deeply dedicated teacher, he brings to the classroom an amazing combina- tion of human tenderness, willing humor, and intellectual discipline. A graduate of University of lowa, Jacob Sadoff came to Pasadena High School in l956. His success as a teacher springs from a deep basic love of science which evokes in his students respect and an eager- ness to learn. Mr. Sadoff's sincere enthusiasm for the wonders of nature and science is most infectious and few students escape being stirred by a sense of curiosity and satisfaction. Understandably, Mr. Sadolf was honored this year by being named by an outstanding Stanford student as his most inspiring teacher. Known on campus for his bow-ties, beastly quizzes, holey lab coats, and hopeful Got it's?, this scientist of l02H brings to his students a sincere respect for knowledge bound in understanding warmth, Chemistry and Physics, often limited to test tubes, Bunsen burners, and wave lengths, come to life in the hands of this master. As one of the most dedicated of our teaching staff and inspiring both as an instructor and an indi- vidual, Mr. Sadoft, we salute you.
