DEDICATION Mrs. Elconor Duncan hos given much of herself, time, ond tolents to Sunset High School. Although she seems to be interested in everything, she enjoys people the most. This mokes her foscinoting to everybody else. Mrs. Duncan, a graduate of Bcoverton High, pur- sued her higher education at Reed College for three years ond then received her degree from Linfield College. She began her tecching career in Junction City. After two years there she moved to the Beaverton school district and here taught everything from art to foreign longuogcs to music. As a choir director she was out- standing. Her noturol musicianship ond showmanship gove an added flare to her concerts. Soon she had a whole community of admirers. As an art teacher her eye for balance and composition was involuoble. She also taught high school French. In 1959 Mrs. Duncon left Bcoverton High to join the smoll but eager group of newly boptized Apollos. Here she taught both French and German and wos made the head of the foreign longuogc department. As she took on added responsibilities in the counseling arco she dropped her French classes to be able to devote more time to her other duties. This year she teoches two classes of German, is head of the deportment, ond olso counsels college-bound seniors. Mrs. Duncon, possessing an inote feeling for that which is beautiful, has a true artist's touch. This sensi- tivity is illustrated in everything she does. As o photogra- pher she con moke every picture she tokes appear to be o pointing. As o club advisor she adds a creotive original- ity to projects and meetings. And os a teacher she brings in many interesting sidelights in the orcos of art and music. Inspirational, conscientious, and foscinoting — these ore the qualities which describe Mrs. Eleanor Duncan os a tcocher. She is on inspiration to her students, for her own enthusiosm for her subject is contagious. Her conscientious ottitude toward her work is admirable and appreciated by oil. She is foscinoting, for there is alwoys something new — a different opprooch, o different emphasis. As a counselor she shows on interest ond concern for everybody. She is alwoys available for help ond advice on almost onything. She has a knack for asking the right questions, discovering the problem, ond providing several possible solutions. As the college counselor, she seems to be an expert on all the American institutions of higher learning and knows just which one is the best for each senior. To this outstanding womon, therefore, we the Apollo staff of 1964, fondly dedicate this year's Apollo.
