Within my eyes Unfolds the folding of unfading dreams. In a child beats the pulse of age, And prime impinges on our relaxing rage Remember first eye opening And sun reflecting through a shield of gilded hair. Remember last words and the final foot- fall before the gilded stair. w:ww 1 ilu:

Mr. Peter Mathison is no ordinary teacher. Never satis- fied with merely lecturing from behind a desk, he has broken out of the old traditions, constantly coming up with innovative teaching methods. We have discovered through him that learning can be stimulating and enjoy- able, and that we need never be bored in a classroom. He teaches social studies as a means through which we can learn of the mistakes and successes of our predecessors, so that our generation will make fewer mistakes and be even more successful. He knows enough about what we'll be up against after graduation not to make things too easy for us, yet he is so encouraging and helpful that we have found ourselves doing much more than we thought we could. Mr. Mathison's qualities as a teacher compliment his performance as an advisor. Any teacher taking on the job of class advisor must be able to communicate with stu- dents, appreciate their problems, and see things from their point of view. Mr. Mathison has done all these things supremely well. When we look back on our high school years, we will become increasingly aware of the soundness of his advice and the deepness of his under- standing, and we will thank him for them. As for every- thing else, we are thanking him now. The Class of 1977 9
