DEDICATION What a strange thing it is that whenever a school teacher is mentioned there always flashes before our minds a picture of a tall, thin monster. with bulldog jaw and fierce eyes, a ruler in one hand and a huge book in the other. And how strange it is that that horrible monster, when once we happen to know it, turns out to be an ordinary human being, and not so cruel after all. And, too, have you not felt a thud when you for the first time have found out that someone you knew and liked was really one of those stern school teachers. I believe most of us have come to realize by such experiences that though we sometimes have those strange visions of school teachers they are really after all likeable creatures. We have certainly found it to be so with Mr. Whittemore. Who of us, four short years ago, was not over-awed by his presence in the study hall? But in these years we have come to know him and he has been found a real friend and helper to us all. More and more We are coming to under- stand that to be a good teacher one must be a friend to the pupils and come close to them so that they understand each other. Mr. Whittemore has discovered that fact long ago and made good use of it. He has become a friend of all those who have come to know him. So it is with a feeling not only of respect but of deep appreciation and friendship this Annual is dedicated. i
