Mr. Crockett Elected “Teacher of the Year” by Students Mr Wilbury Crockett, Teacher ot the Year A classic stands the test ol time. I attended Mr. Crockett’s World Litera¬ ture Class many years ago, but what I gained is still remembered with joy and satistaction. I had no professors in college or graduate school who gave more to their students in depth and stimulation than Mr. Crockett gave to us. He is a rare and precious classic” teacher. A quick glance in Mr. Crockett ' s classroom tells an impressive story. He is a kind, encouraging and challeng¬ ing teacher who treats his students not as children but as equals. He teaches us to respect literature and the arts, but more importantly he teaches us to respect ourselves. When we leave his classroom, we feel that we have accomplishea a great deal. He shows us that he is proud to be our teacher, and he is one man who we would never want to disappoint. As we look back on our high school years, Mr. Crockett will stand out for his sincerity, wisdorr and understanding. — Bonnie Miller, and Ann Morgenthaler Co-Editors in Chief 1980 WELLESLEY AN Almost a quarter century of a century ago I had the priv¬ ilege of working with a man who taught me more about the joys of thinking for oneself than most of the teachers I have known since. This man is Wilbury A. Crockett, teacher. Unlike so many, Mr. Crockett deserves to be called a teacher because he knows how to encourage youth to face themselves, their developing belief systems, and to begin the life long task of independent, critical thinking, acting, and being. — John Barrel! Class of 1956 — Steve Austin Class of 1947 Many of us can trace back our choice of college or career, our search after ' the best that has been thought and said,’ and even the very principles of integrity that guide us, to our experience in Mr. Crockett’s class. An experience of inquiry and dis¬ covery not confined within classroom walls but reaching deeply into our minds and hearts. An expe¬ rience outlasting any school year and lighting the rest of our lives. If we discovered abilities and interests we never knew we had, it was he who awakened us to them. If we made dreams become realities, it was because of his daily encouragement, unceasing inspiration, rare wisdom and insight. Suffice it to say that again and again through the years, whether in thought or in person, we all come back to him. And we come back with the warmest admiration, gratitude, and love. Mr. Crockett is the teacher of a lifetime. — Sylvia Plath Class of 1950 Generations of students, dating back to the 1940 ' s, remember Mr. Crockett ' s lectures. ■2
