When we look back on our high school days, we remember our friends and the faculty — we remember our j heartbreaks and hard work — and of course — our fun and achieve- i ments.

DEDICATIONS MR. PREU All through his career, this popular and beloved teacher has been character¬ ized by each Portal as a regular guy and a good sport.” For years his art classes have always been remembered for their unlimited educational discussion, serious work, outstanding achievements, and most of all for their friendly and happy atmosphere. Because of his efforts, the Art-Crafts Club of Weaver has gained the reputation of being one of the oldest and most active groups in school. He has also helped to narrow the social gap between teacher and student by his efforts in arranging educational and recreational affairs. For many years, the dances at Weaver have reached inimitable splendor because of his work, ideas and direc¬ tion with the decorations. Many students have found it a pleasure not only to work under him but also to work right along with him in these activities. For his unselfishness, his continually happy disposition, his untiring efforts in school duties, his understanding personality and warm sense of humor, we dedicate the Portal of 1953 to Mr. John D. Preu. 6
