The dedication of the Crest to a Pe- oria High School Faculty member was of utmost importance to the Editors, since it was the highest award we were able to bestow. The basic requirements of char- acter, reputation, vocational competency, and unselfish devotion to the teaching pro- fession were qualities possessed by each member of our faculty. The recipient had to be a teacher who has reached the crest of his career, the pinnacle of his life's work-meaning, of course, the fullness of effective teaching, the mellowness due to long experience, and the reward of C0111- plete teacher-student respect. The Editors of the Crest found such a person among the many fine members of the Peoria High School Staff. Our de- cision was based on the teacher's progress toward the crest of his career in the way he met changes in his subject area. We discovered a wonderful blend of the new and the old in the presentation of mathe- matics by this teacher. Having learned previous methods of teaching, he went on to master the new concept of numerical processes. Additionally, other attributes were sought. Students who have had the experience of this teacher's classes or the benefit of his personal approach to their problems have found an understanding adviser. Thus, the Editors of the Crest wished to honor a teacher who has reach- ed the crest of his life by dedicating this book to: Mia. fVlAR'I'IN M. BHZLEMA MR. MARTIN M.
