LEIGH BLUMER If one were to .search for the impulse that prompts certain people to dedicate their works to certain others among their friends and acquaintances, he would inevitably find that it is a deep affection for these persons that acts as the chief motive force. Is it not fitting, therefore, that we, the class of 1947 follow this accepted custom and dedicate our 1947 West-O- Ranger to a man who is loved by us all, Mr. Blumcr. known to us as Pop,’ that man who is to be found where there is laughter and good-will, a friend whose smile is the trade- mark by which we know him. The salient feature of Pop’s philosophy, the one which perhaps accounts for his success with young people, is that he is proud of his profession; we feel that he really enjoys teaching, that he appreciates our attempts at scholarship, and that he realizes our worth as individuals. Making the acqui- sition of knowledge a delightful accomplishment, supplement- ing drudgery with drollery, tossing a cheerful word in here and there, Mr. Blumcr has won a place for himself in the hearts of his pupils. If we were to list the qualities of certain individuals that make us fond of them, surely thoughtfulness and generosity would be among those heading the list—Mr. Blumcr has a full measure. He is never happier than w'hen he is sharing some bit of his happiness with others, whether it be some of the first spring flowers from his garden, or a cheering word of encouragement when someone is feeling rather despondent. Absolute fairness is another quality of Mr. Blumer’s person- ality, a quality that renders him a favorite among both teachers and students. Never does he succumb to prejudice; always is he willing to temper justice writh mercy ' In the future, as we look back over the years, some of our fondest memories of high school days will be those of the hours spent with Mr. Blumer. Unable to express our gratitude, admiration, and affection in any other way more fitting, we, therefore, take pleasure in dedicating our yearbook to Mr. Blumcr, with the sincere hope that he will accept this dedication as a tribute from us, and that he will recognize it to be an expression of our friendship to him. Since the yearbook is, after all, a big part of our- selves, what greater homage do we have in our pow'er to offer?
