mm- -U,--., ...----..' A x .A 'ml' f . ,, Our headmaster impresses the casual visitor as a tall, gaunt man with a firm handshake and gripping blue eyes. The visitor observes the way in which he dominates his desk, nearly touching each end of it with side-stretched palms. He remarks Mr. Cruikshank's debonair manner. How easily and assuredly he draws anyone into conversation. be it Argentinian exchange student, Gund lecturer, or truant senior. The man speaks five minutes and has already cut his way to the problem's or question's center. There is no hedging or beating about the bush, all is simple, direct and frank. Those more closely associated with University School were impressed with these traits many years ago. Since then they have watched the school grow, under his aegis, from four hundred forty to five hundred students. Parents and alumni remember the days when morning chapel announcers wore dungarees and T-shirts. They remember the drably- painted rooms, the poor lighting, and the crowded facilities. Today they see students wearing coats and ties at all times, ceilings covered with acoustic tile, fluorescent lighting, redecoration everywhere, even a whole new wing that includes a biology lab and now the addition of a new language lab. The halls at times echo the voices of teachers teaching completely new courses. Remember, also, the national acclaim won by our headmaster tor his code of student conduct! For thirteen years our man's hand and eye have had a great share in the general improvement of U.S. We of the senior class are so familiar with all these things that we take them for granted. Moreover, we are often not aware that many of our own rights and privileges were initiated by our headmaster. He was the one who opened the Alumni Room to us as a senior room. He increased the power ofthe Pretect Board. We are even more indebted for the guidance and assistance he has given us as a class. Advising us individually on our selection of colleges and in constant communication with their admissions offices, he has worked wonders to enable every senior to go to some school of his choice. For all these reasons the class of T960 wishes to express its intense gratitude to Mr. Harold L. Cruikshank.

At US. no smile is so vvell known as Mr. Sanaersf lt tightens the impact ot tive more clernerits or' numbs the pain ot a sixty-tive on a Spanish or Modern l-listory exam. lt is a symbol ot the sense ot humor' that makes tvvo ot University Schools most demanding courses tvvo ot the most enioyecl. Mr. Sanders' knowledge, charm, and ability as rr teacher ot Spanish and Modeirt History have infected his stu- dents tor' sixteen years. No master' has achieved so happy a blend ot hard vvorlr and disarming banter in his classes, and no one has come to com- mand more respect, admiration, anal at- tection tram every one ot his students. University School has one ot the na- tron's best secondary school toroign language departments. Even at the most ditticult colleges our graduates do vvell in foreign languages. Our' general exe cellence in this tield derives in large part trorn the particularly excellent Spanish courses ot Mr, Sanders. Also, lvlodern l-listory, deemed the toughest US. course, keeps students vvell inf lormecl on up-to-date events vvith a broad historical perspective. For these reasons the class ot 1960 vvishes to honor' Mr: Carter G. Sanders by rileclicating their Mrrbian to him.
