TEACHER, ADVISER, COLLEAGUE, AND FRIEND- MR. CHARLES AMMERMAN , Ll.. four in one man! How happy the man who may be just one of X i these satisfactorily: how superlatively desirable to be all four and to be all four adequately! But, to the mind of the writer, it is still more fortunate to have been closely associated with such a man and to have had the opportunity to view the greater part of a lifetime spent in the service of thousands of young people, hundreds of colleagues, and untold numbers of friends. Charles Amrnerman is the man. The writer has had the privilege of close association with him in his professional life over a period of many years. It was longer ago than I care to tell when, as a high school freshman, I was assigned Mr. Ammerman as adviser at lVlcKinley High School. We lucky ones did not at first fully realize our good fortune. We went blindly into an assignment, little knowing the influence on our lives our beloved leader would wield. But it was not long before we were aware of the kind, fatherly man in whose charge we were placed. No problem was too small or too large for him to tackle: we, on the other hand, had no hesitation in coming to him with anything. And those students who read this know what l mean when l say we entered his room with a sense of peace and security, combined with anticipation, such as is not in the power of everyone to give. He represented to us stabilityg we knew he would give us something that was worth while, for he understood young people. As l progressed into more advanced mathematics, l was again fortunate in having Mr. Ammerman as a teacher of geometry. We students at no time felt our subject limited to the Held of mathematicsg on the contrary we were given the benefit of a leadership and counsel which was limited only by our capacity to receive it. Have you ever experienced the satisfaction of a lucky chance at the best there is? Such was the satisfaction of the pupils who drew Mr. Ammerman as a teacher. And then, one day we were treated to one of the thrills which mean so much to the teen-agern. Our beloved Mr. Ammerman had married one of the best-loved young teachers in the school. As romantic youngsters will do, we rejoiced in the happiness of our friend. But it was only as the years went on that some of us who followed his life had a glimpse of the lasting happiness of his home life, his love for his family, the charm of his country home, his pleasure in the simple activities of true living. I was out in the world for some years, favored at times by news from and contacts with my former teacher and adviser, when l had occasion to return to him one day for information. I found him in his class room, sur- rounded by the usual interested group who had remained after school hours for his companionship. It seemed like an invigorating renewal of my own high school days. And it was not long after that l was fortunate to be assigned as a teacher at McKinley High School and found myself a colleague of Thirteen
