For many years this teacher has added to her busy class schedule much and varied community work, and generous assistance in such school projects as the Fest-i- Fair and the senior-class breakfast. Her main concern, however, is the development of her students as individuals. Taking members of her classes to interesting cities un- familiar to them and to places of business merely indi- cates a part of the activities for which she was named locally Commercial Teacher of the Year. In recognition of such selfless service, we seniors dedi- cate the Oracle of 1959 to Miss Madeline Hitz. 6

All of them have a huge job to do in the business of helping us to grow, physically or mentally. Among the early giants there were two that were of particular help to mankind, Epimetheus and Prometheus. Epimetheus was allowed to endow man with the faculties necessary for preserva- tion. Prometheus, however, went beyond the mere necessitiesg or it may be that he interpreted his work with greater inspiration, lor he 'glighted his torch at the chariot of the sunw and gave to man some of the celestial fire. We need what Epimetheus could givehthe more ordinary things of lifeg but we are especially appreciative of the kind of help that Prometheus gave. As overseer of Epimetheus, he was somewhat like our administrators. He saw that man was made whole and strong, even as we must be kept well-fed, well-housed in school, and healthyg but las mythology tells the story, symbolicallyl he also helped man to the inspiration allowing him almost to leap to what we call progress-in vocations, in science and inventions, in commerce, and in the arts-so that mankind might have a good way of life. liven giants grow. Over the years there has been progress in teaching. We are fortunate in the administrative and pedagogical giants of our school system. We mice may not always follow-or use their tools-so well as we mightg but we'll always keep trying. ,..... .--v..-,. .nu . -.nr ga. -- -E ...Q 592.4 V-Y qwr. - ,s
