These things we must always remember— The value of time The success of perseverance The pleasure of working The dignity of simplicity The worth of character The power of kindness The influence of example The obligation of duty The wisdom of economy The virtue of patience The improvement of talent The joy of originating —Marshall Field The above sentiments can quite accurately be a description of the gentleman who has held the reins of Spencer High School since 1945. He has had many diversified and worthwhile experiences throughout his adult life as a leader in educational, religious, civic, and fraternal activities. This educator has been principal of Fifth Avenue School, principal and supervisor in Athens, Georgia and Dean of Instruction at Boggs Academy in Keysville, Georgia. Since being the renowned leader of Spencer, he has exemplified his profound ability to orate dy- namically and guide effectively. Honors have come to him as a past President of the Georgia col- ored Parents Association, Treasurer of this organization and Treasurer of Georgia Teachers and Education Association. He is Bausileus of the Phi Lambda Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Ruling Elder of Bethsalem Presbyterian Church, and National Chairman of the Colored Parents and Teachers Association. Mr. DuVaul was named “Man of the Tear” for the year 1966. Our principal is the father of two sons, Wesley and Thomas and one grandson, Michael Sean, and the husband of Mrs. Ganelle DuVaul, a teacher. We, the Seniors of the Class of 1967, dedicate our SPENCERIAN to Mr. Charles Wesley DuVaul. We do this not only because of his success as the “Fountainhead,” but also be- cause he represents so well the symbol for which Spencer High School stands—Excellence. He patiently guided and directed us when many of our tasks seemed insurmountable. Each passing day revealed him to be our inspiration. Our hopes, our ideals, and our dreams have been nurtured by him and his faith in us has given us courage to face the future, its successes and its failures. Mr. Du Vaul had us to realize that anything we desired to accomplish could be done. Because his interest and concern never wavered, we feel that his faith has to be justified. For this we shall always lovingly call him— THE FOUNTAINHEAD 17
