The one exclusive sign of a thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.” Aristotle The good teacher is the cornerstone of a demo¬ cratic society, for his knowledge stimulates learning and his citizenship influences character. Because this instructor is interested in the individuals he teaches, he inspires his students to pursue under¬ standing as well as wisdom. Through instruction, he enlightens; through counsel, he encourages; through humor, he entertains. For these reasons the Doe-Wah-Jack staff of 1966-1967 recognizes a Williams High School faculty member because he has earned the label Good Teacher”—our man of distinction—MR. L. G. GUTHRIE. Contacting parents by telephone is a necessary part of Mr. Guthrie’s work. 41 W Mr. Guthrie chats with Mrs. Bright and Miss Kichline as teachers relax at a P.T.A. luncheon.

Memories at Williams are composed of many events and people, but none are more vivid than those of books, term papers, tests, and homework, and the people who have assigned this work. No group of people have ever played more important roles than our teachers in providing a store of knowledge and en¬ couraging us to explore the worlds of wisdom for ourselves. We have been offered a variety of challenges, but the greatest is that of achieving maturity so that our minds may blossom and produce fruit. As we review this year of growth and development, no memories shine brighter than those that have been experienced in our classrooms where we have grown in wisdom and have lived in the sunshine of knowledge. □
