PRINCIPAL WHO is it that is always busy never too busy never angry ... always kind never impatient always sympathetic always wise and willing to share his wisdom never indifferent always enthusiastic why ... there can only be one answer, it must be ... and it most certainly is Merritt C. Nauts . . . reigning for four years . . .he has proved . . his worth ... what would DeVilbiss High School . . . be without him? so far ... he has successfully ... steered us along the right path ... Here is what he says Four Years at DeVilbiss "The graduates of 1935 are the first pupils who can know the meaning of this question and suggest an adequate answer. In any educational program, graduation is a time when one may well ask what that education is worth. Have the four years at DeVilbiss given a better understanding of the orderliness with which our life must proceed? Has it given a better appreciation of the cumulative accomplishments of what we call civilization? Has it given each pupil some worthwhile knowledge or ideal which he may contribute to the social betterment of our times? We at DeVilbiss try to place upon pupils responsibilities which will train them in making decisions concerning their everyday experiences. The purpose is to develop self reliance. Pupils graduating from high school should have acquired a willingness to face their own problems courageously. One must think for himself in mapping out a program leading to a definite life work. The chosen work must be well within range of the ability of one to achieve with reasonable success. It must offer the probability of increasing satisfaction and happiness to himself in his adjustment in society. Thomas A. DeVilbiss, in his living, worked hard and cheerfully in developing a business of world-wide scope; he accepted all of the responsibilities of the head of a fine family; he gave unselfishly his abilities to serve the community in which he made his home. May all of the graduates of the high school bearing his name ever think of his example of unselfish service to home and community MERRITT C. NAUTS |
