jo mom ono X THEA EXCALIBU11 p 3 We, the members of Senior Class, have selected Mr. Mason to receive the highest tribute we can pay for several obvious reasons: He is an ex- cellent teacherg he was a competent adviser in our Junior yearg he is one of the faculty leaders of Hi-Y. There are, however, more important mo- tives for our choice. We appreciate his patience in endeavoring to im- press algebra and geometry into our dull brains, his genial smile as he tactfully prodded us to our home rooms, and, above all, his sense of humor. He has aroused an interest in his subject, and thus taught us to think. Because of this inspiration, we dedicate this 1941 Excalibur to Mr. George Mason, teacher and friend. 6 ble

Teachers and parents have guided us through the perplexing problems of this period, preparing us for vaster and greater problems of similar pat- tern. We have devoted twelve years to this preparation, and now we are emerging from our chrysalis, unafraid and eager- to enter the world. A few years ago a popular ballad began: When I grow too-old to dream, I'll have you to remember. We, the members of the Senior Class, have somewhat this same sentiment toward Van Wert High School. This, then, is the purpose of the Excalibur of 1941: to recapture the free spirit of our school days, to remember our school friends, and, in times of worry and doubt before us, to regain momentarily the feeling of security and peace which has been ours these four years. a
