DEDICATION Since our Sophomore year, when he first came to Park, this man has won the heart of every senior. He has taught us the true meanings and values of life as well as academic subjects. He has helped transform our sophomoric Ngrasshopper brained selves into mature individuals. He is a personal friend to everyone and is always ready to help someone with any kind of problem. He can usually be found at school early in the morning, late at night, or even on a holiday, Working diligently. He has made the school grounds more beautiful and has inspired us to do the same. In class, he is ready With a smile to greet his students. Yet, he is earnest in teach- ing us. Without him, much of what Park School stands for would be lost. He does not take us by the hand and say, 'fthis is howng he teaches us how to do it ourselves. To him, We are all indebted, for We would be lost Without him. To show him our appreciation for all he has done, We, the Senior Class of l96O, dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Edward Barnes. Of all Godis creatures give me man for impractical uniqueness. 2

MEMORIAM In September, 1956, a short straight shouldered boy of sixteen appeared on our campus. Almost immediately, he adapted himself to the ways and ideas of the Park School. For the next two years, he experienced some of the best times of his life. Although pleasure seemed to take up a great part of his time, it was only because he rarely did anything that he didnit enjoy. When he did have to do something that didn't suit him, he would always make the best of it, and make it fun. No matter where he was, at school, at a party, or at home, his bright personality would always spark the atmosphere and make it a bright and happy one. No party was complete without him. A fatal auto accident took Bill from our midst shortly after his graduation from Park. Bill Johnston's family and we at the Park School, have suffered a great loss. But we can say with absolute confidence that even our loss is still a gain in a place that is now much brighter and happier than ever before. Be happy, and your lie, be it short or long, will be worthwhile? 4
