To Members of the Class of January, 1959: A vice-president of one of our great industrial organizations recently has said that “Technological superiority alone will not determine the winner of the conflicts which promise to abound in the world of the future. They can be won only by a nation of free men, free to think for themselves, encouraged to think for themselves and trained to think for themselves. We hope that your years at Rhodes have contributed to your capacity to think clearly and independently, and that in the years ahead you ever will strive to base your thinking on facts at hand rather than on prejudice. My best wishes to each of you. Sincerely, NEIL D. MATHEWS

DEDICATION MR. HOFFMAN It is hard to put into words the many characteristics of Mr. Hoffman. During the three years he was the boys homeroom teacher, he gave us much needed confidence and advice. His cheerful ways seemed to find their way into the hearts of everyone he comes in contact with. Through his guidance, many boys took subjects they thought useless but now see they were needed. Our problems were your problems. To the boys of 104 you were just like another member of the homeroom. Now in our final semester at Rhodes, we have a new advisor, but you were still available for guidance and advice. It is with a great deal of appreciation that we dedicate our yearbook to you. MISS LANESE The girls of our class wish to express our appreciation for the personal interest you have taken in each and everyone of us. You have been more than a teacher, you have been a real friend to us. We knew we could always rely on you when we needed you. You never hesitated to help or advise us in any way you could. You never lost your patience with us even when we were doing wrong. Instead you took time to show us the right way. You made us see our weaknesses and showed us how to improve them. We are grateful for the close guidance you have given us during the past four years both in homeroom and in class. We consider ourselves fortunate indeed to have had such a wonderful person for our homeroom teacher and friend.

MR. FERGUSON As our senior year approached and we were faced with vocational problems, we turned to you, Mr. Ferguson, for help in solving our difficulties. Your kindly guidance not only aided us in solving our immediate problems, but also laid a trail for us to follow in the future. Although you were always occupied with your work, you found time to include us in your busy schedule and concern yourself with our problems. Therefore, we the seniors sincerely thank you for your interest in our well-being at Rhodes and your invaluable advice about our future vocations. MISS PALMER The members of our class appreciate the help and guidance you have given us during the past years. We wish to express our gratitude for the interest you have shown in each of us, and the help you have given us in solving our problems. Through your guidance and understanding we have become better persons. We shall always remember your friendliness and your fine sense of humor. For the many services you have rendered, the January Class of “59”, sincerely thank you, Miss Palmer. MR. BLUM We are grateful to you for your sincerity, good judgment, warm sense of humor, and friendliness. You have shown us the way, and yet you let us make our own decisions. It is a rare person who can be silent, yet put so much understanding and wisdom into a few words. We believe that you are such a person.
