Everyone in the Wayland High School Community immediately recognizes the tall figure charging across the campus like a black-robed tornado. It is Mr. Frank Smith. Mr. Smith's gait reflects his personality, for he is a man super-charged with energy and excitement. Even in the warmth and humor of his personal dealings one feels the power which animates him. A brilliant Classical Studies teacher, Mr. Smith hardly needs to say attendite me. Rarely is a pair of ears in his class ever tuned to anything but his voice as he weaves a spell of enchantment around his class material, gesticulating dramatically and making mystical marks on the chalkboard. With his ever-present grin, jumping onto a table his black professorial gown flap- ping, he bursts out stating his attitude to teaching: I don't understand how you can be paid for having so much fun? Mr. Smith brings the same scintillating power and dynamism to his role as chairman of the Department of Classics and Modern Foreign Languages. He has built the department's program over the years until it is one of the most popular in the school. He has shown that classical and medieval studies are far more than accumulations of facts, that languages are far more than declensions, that archaeology and philosophy are far more than dry-as-dust sciences. He has proven to us that all of these are also intimate cultural and personal studies of humanity. Much of the department's success is a result of what Mr. Smith calls the informal program, the language clubs. As its perennially versatile advisor he has made the Classical Studies Club the largest and most popular club activity in the school. The Annual Induction Ceremony, the Saturnalian Banquet, and the bi-annual student trips to Italy have become traditions which consistently attract the interest and participation of large numbers of students. Besides his academic roles, Mr. Smith has also been the commentator at the Warriors' home games. Perched in the press box high above the stands he is the eloquent and witty voice of the loudspeaker which has come to be an integral part of a Wayland football game. This versatile man, in the sixteen years he has been a member of the high school faculty, has served as class advisor, year- book advisor, Student Council advisor, basketball coach, and drama director. His performance in all these roles is often remembered as truly classic. To you, Mr. Smith, we, the class of 1976, dedicate our yearbook in sincere appreciation for all you have done to enrich our lives. Thank you and Press on!
