1. H. BREWER The more familiar one becomes with a person, the more difficult it becomes to write mere words about him, and so we, the class of 1956, find ourselves at a loss to find phrases to describe our Mr. Brewer. The epitome of loyalty to our school, a supporting brace to all our clubs, the pivot of undergraduate life. We look upon him with emotion mingled with admiration, respect, and affection. It is our fondest hope as we go forth from this, our alma mater, that his loyalty to all that for which he stands may inspire us to a real understanding of this quality, and an effort to further it in our own lives. 18

E. C. FISHER The most loyal friend of the Peoria public schools is foundin the person of their superintendent, Mr. E. C. Fisher, a man ever thoughtful of the interests of students, teachers, and laymen alike, a cultured, well-educated leader in an educating community. His personality, character, and reputation are an inspiration toiall who come in contact with him. May the loyalty which he shows the students, teachers, and workers of our school system ever reflect upon him to his happiness, well-being, and pleasure. 17

vtirv ELEANOR B. WATSON ROSS L. JOHNSON Loyalty, to the two busiest persons of Peoria High School, is a daily affair. Day in and day out, our Miss Watson and Mr. Johnson touch upon the lives of two thousand persons and enrich them greatly by their loyalty, sympathy, and understanding. To them loyalty is a necessity, sine qua non. In their lives we see mirrored the interests of Peoria High students who constantly approach them for aid and inspiration. Loyal to the last, they never fail us. We leave the school, greatly in their debt. May the other students who follow us enjoy these human teachers, and bask in their kindness. 19
