8 Service to young people, the giving of time and effort for years in order to lead and guide youth in its most formative years is an ideal as high as any in the world. Therefore, we, the senior class, dedicate this twenty-sixth volume of the Thorntonite to the memory of two men who have in their lives so fully realized this ideal. To Mr. Don C. Allen in appreciation of his excellent instruction and molding of young lives, in admiration of his faith in others, in gratitude for his understanding, his tolerance, his sympathy. Seeking always to better Thornton and giving unstintingly of his services to achieve a higher standard of school life, Mr. Allen erected for himself an eternal monument in the hearts and lives of all those who had the privilege of knowing him. Twenty-nine years of his life were devoted to Thornton and the upholding of its fine ideals and lofty goals. We are proud of the band which has brought honor and recog- nition to our school, and we are grateful to him who so patiently and capably developed the talent and abilities of all the students who came under his influence in the band or in the classroom. cibecbcafion To Mr. Charles E. Waterman whose enthusiasm and industry spurred us on to new undertakings, whose leadership and initiative supplied us with the finest building and equipment with which to achieve the best that was in us, whose understanding of the needs and problems of youth helped make Thornton what it is today. Putting into practice his beliefs and living his religion, lVlr. Water- man was one of the most influential personalities in Thornton. Having served as a member and as president of the Board of Education for twenty-nine years he gave some of the best years of his life in the inter- est of the school. All of his actions were prompted by his most earnest desire to serve Thornton conscientiously and to the best of his ability. We know that the memory of these two men, the ideals which they gave to us, the lasting good which they achieved in building a great educational institution will last forever. The unselfish service which they have lavished on Thornton will remain forever in our hearts as an ideal to cherish.
