To love our flag, to cherish the traditions of home and school, to revere the achievements of our forefathers, has been, and always will be, part of the substance of our daily lives. With this thought in mind, we have chosen as our theme, the relationship between our school and the community in which we live. Dr. Joseph L. Wilder .gn lfemotiam pe diff tion In respect for her guiding Words of wisdom, in appreciation of many favors rendered, and in esteem for her scholarly and idealistic character, we dedicate this volume of the UAKRONITEU to Florence M. Vetter. w V l LEOPOLD, Supervising Principal URING our four years at high school, one person has been, above all others, our guide and our friend. In spite of the many contacts and associations we have, the example of our principal has been etched deepest into our hearts and minds. The memory of her, who guided us through four of the happiest years of our lives and sacrificed herself that we might come closer to our ultimate goal, will always be bright in the hearts of the grateful class of 1939. To' us, Miss Gertrude A. Leopold symbolizes the learned professor, the conscientious principal, and the understanding friend. G it r if K 3' ill! E w ,i, ,Mx .,.., BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education represents the school and its relation to the com- munity. As the school reflects community pride and achievement, so does our Board of Education, whose untiring efforts have contributed so much to our scholastic welfare. Members of the Board of Education at the beginning of this year's school term were: President, Joseph Wilder Treasurer, William F. Smith Vice-President, Arthur P. Anderson Charles F. Yaeger Eugene P. Forrestel Richmond E. Schultz Secretary, Robert J. Richards H. Morton Perry We regret that the death of Dr. Joseph L. Wilder has deprived the board of a member whose immeasurable devotion to the school and community cannot be replaced. Q . if f A 1 , 4 nf N . lr . 1 "ss 6.1.

The fighting Tigers enjoyed a very successful season with five wins, one loss, and a conference title. Akron High bids farewell to the following Seniors: R. Stapleton, M. George, D. Tahamont, P. Ball, B. Cummings, W. Poodry, F. McLeod, A. O'Dell, F. Schalge. The biggest event of the year was when the Tigers defeated, for the first time in A. H. S. history, the Williamsville eleven. Coming from behind, the team went to a glorious victory. Logan and Cummings led Akron's attack. Thus, a nearly perfect season came to an end, with two new glories coming to Akron High. Coach Thomas and his team deserve much credit for their courage and skill in bringing glory to Akron.

In spite of the losses sustained, the team showed the fighting spirit for which Akron High is famous and truly served the school in victory and defeat. The team inaugurated the season in new orange and black uniforms which made a snappy appearance on the floor.

Mattioli TRACK For the iifth consecutive year, Akron has sponsored a track team under the direction of Mr. Bates, assisted by Mr. Ogden. With much prospective young material, the coach plans to be able to build a team that within a few years will be invincible in Westem New York track competition. The first tri-meet at Amherst proved to Coach Bates that he needed more field power. However, Akron did well, scoring 36LQ points. Schalge scored 6 points for Akron, Cum- mings, 8. Stapleton and Hoffman each scored 3. Other dates have been reserved for meets with Lancaster, Medina, and Pine Hill, with a conference meet at Albion and a Western New York intersectional meet to be held at Kenmore at the close of the season. A new record established this season has been the mile run by Fay Schalge in 5'06". ' asv lv fx f O! .sinks 'lf ga. 4? M' .seq-. lst Row: P. Quane, V. Greene, J. Hunt, A. Brucker,'E. Walker, R.

Tournaments in ping pong, tennis, volleyball, softball, basketball and bad- minton have kept the feminine athlete busy all year. The sophomores carried off the honors in all these sports, although the seniors gave them stiff compe- tition. Girls' track has been introduced recently. There has been more interest shown in sports this year than ever before, and the girls are improving in everything they undertake.
