To you, Mr. Kane, we, the graduates of 1964, with deep ap- preciation dedicate the 1964 Ros- trum. You have devoted many years as a member of The Sum- mit faculty, aiding and guiding your students on the right road of life. Although we can claim only a few of these years as your stu- dents, you have always been our friend, way back to the earlier years of our education. We will always remember your friendly smile, your firm but kind manner, and the interest you have shown in us. Through classes in speech and lessons in dramatics you have helped us to become poised young women. Although as younger stu- dents we did not realize the im- portance of these classes, we now understand the necessity of being able to express oneself well. The Senior play, one of the most important highlights of the year, has left us with a feeling of achievement due to its success, which could not have been pos- sible without your patience and capable direction. The time you have devoted to helping us, the sacrifices you have made for us, and the good times we have had with you will always be lasting memories. Although this is only a small token of the gratitude we can show in comparison for all that you have done for us, we now thank you by dedicating our Rostrum to you. oUR TEACHER, GUIDE, AND FRIE D 5

THE FACULTY Hear ye, hear ye, all present! Please take notice: we are about to introduce to you the faculty of The Summitt. Some of you know them as Sister Alberta, or Mr. Morse, or Sister Ellen Marie. They are our teachers, guides, and disciplinarians throughout our school year. We first take notice of them when as small children we are abruptly hurled from our world of play and imagination into the re- alistic world of education. Sudden- ly we are expected to give respect to a person who, like our mothers, helps us to tie our shoes and but- ton our coats, a person who an- swers our many Why? questions, and chides us' when we misbehave. This is our first realization of au- thority. As we mature, so also do our ideas concerning teachers. With a new-found realization we come to understand a teacher as one who scolds and yet befriends us, and one who prepares us religiously, morally, and intellectually for good Christian adulthood. Here at The Summit the fac- ulty consists of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and of both men and women lay teachers. From Kindergarten to graduation the faculty is ever near to help us in all we do, both in and out of school. Even after graduation our former teachers are always inter- ested in our achievements, and share in our triumphs and disap- pointments. For between the stu- dents and these dedicated men and women there is a true bond of friendship.
