First HONOR ALUMNUS Arthur Hill MR. HARRY P. BAKER, ‘91, became Arthur Hill High School’s first Honor Alumnus at the annual Honors Assembly May 16, 1951. This recognition, marking the 60th anniversary of his graduation from Arthur Hill and his retirement from 18 years on the Saginaw Board of Education, came to Mr. Baker for his unselfish service and unfailing devotion to community and country. In naming their candidate, the Treanor Chapter of Quill and Scroll, in behalf of the school, asked that the term ‘service’ refer to business stability; participa- tion in public affairs; social respect; successful family life; and, most important, the proper attitude and philosophy toward life and its responsibilities. The Honor Alumnus was presented with a certificate of Service and his picture was hung in the community room where guests, honor students and their parents congratulated Mr. Baker during the faculty reception that followed the cere- mony.

THE WORK OF EXPERTS seems to move with limpid tranquillity. Mr. BEN DAMBERG was one of those who did his work so well that one might easily take his expertness for granted. He was a happy person in his work in school and in activities outside. He was positive in his views and fair in his judgments. To the many of us who through the years have admired him, his family and his work, it is with a deep sense of loss that we have been forced to part with him. WITH HER quiet understanding, Miss FRANCES HINRICHSEN served Arthur Hill High School as librarian. The library was run with an efficiency that was recognized by the students who used its facilities. By assisting all those who needed help and in- formation, Miss Hinrichsen endeared herself to the students. She was admired by the faculty for her knowledge and industry. Her memory will long endure in the high school she loved and served so well. ‘51 Legenda
