Dedication Complete devotion toward one’s profession and pride in one’s work are two of the finest attributes that a person can possess. It is. indeed, rare to find these two traits in an individual. It is a person of great wisdom who possesses them in abundance. The ability to motivate and stimulate interest in a subject does not come easily. Rather, it requires discipline, dedica- tion. integrity, and a tireless effort. Most of all. it requires a scholarly mastery of his field. This teacher possesses this scholarship in rich abundance. He daily imparts his words of wisdom which include the following: “I think, therefore I am. ’You are what you are because of what you have.” and ‘‘Science has fulfilled her purpose when she has ascertained and enunciated the truth.” During his years of association with Westbury High School, he has earned the respect of many students. Many of his former students return to visit him year after year to ex- press their gratitude for the college level preparation which he has given them. In addition, he is a profound source of inspiration to our daily lives through his good example, his integrity, and his supreme devotion to duty. Year after year his students of Biology consistently score well above the norm on the Regents and on the College Boards. It is with honor and pride that we dedicate the 1969 Wing and Spur to you. Mr. Frank Korber. 16
