But there is more to Dale s character than what is readily seen. Quiet at times, always good-natured, he is an essential part of Park School. . . One of the active type, he may often be seen working on Streeter or busy in French workshop . . . His interest in the Later! and Spark has been clearly shown by the outstanding work he has done there. In addition he is quite fond of basketball. By his sincere interest and through his excellent leadership, Dale has contributed greatly to Park and to its tradition. Tell him to be a fool every so often and to have no shame over having been a fool, yet learning something out of every folly. I3
