Recollection o our fDi'rectots BOARD OF EDUCATION As law-makers turn government wheels, so does the School Board strive to solve the problems of running our school. One major problem facing any Board is that of finances. The Board's job is to operate our school as wisely and eco- nomically as possible. Among the School Board's duties is the important task of getting the best teachers available for our educational system. The Board also is required to have money to meet every- one's needs and still balance the budget. These men select textbooks and all other items necessary for the efficient operation of our schools. Most people do not realize the many intricate problems facing a Board of Education. When we consider that men from our joint districts serve without re- muneration of any kind, they deserve our sincere appreciation. The Bervalon pays tribute to the late Mr. K. Stutzman, a sincere and loyal director and friend, who was a member of the Board for ten years. In that time he represented the Somerset County School Directors' Association at a state convention. He was chairman of the supply committee for a number of years. Mr. Stutzmanls place on the Board has been taken by Mr. Norman S. Handwerk. 10 Az dere: Karl Hay, Presi- dent.

i The Trincipal ,Speaks I remember . . . Many will be the times when you will begin to reminisce in this manner. Each day you will find reason to check with your store of memories so that you may review some experience of the past, whether it be for some personal satisfaction or a comparison with experiences or conditions as you find them at the moment. Each experience of the future will immediately be- come history and will be available for that moment when you pause to remember. Whether it be pleas- ant or depressing, that memory will remain with you. As you live your life from day to day, you can do much to make your moments of meditation a pleas- ant revelation. Your home, school, and church have made efforts to help you in your preparation. It will be your reaction to conditions as you find them that will indicate the degree of success that these forces have had on your development. If you try to do that which is right, and do it to the best of your ability, you will be storing up ex- periences which you will want to remember. Yes, you'll remember . . . HARRY R. HENLY Gite Supervising 5P'rincipal's eibffessage The exclamation I remember is not likely to be employed by you as frequently and as fervently as by those who are older and who sometimes are over- come with nostalgia as they recall characters and in- cidents of earlier days. However, already you have your memories, most of them pleasant ones to be sure. - There is a more serious side to remembering. Alexander Pope may have had it in mind when he wrote Remembrance and reflection how allied! What thin partitions sense from thought divide! Perhaps there is grace in forgetting as well as re- membering. Some things we have done, some of the mistakes we have made are best discarded from our memory book. Only the experience which has come to us through these mistakes should we carry with us, only the wisdom, the strength, and the grace of character with which these experiences have en- dowed us should we treasure. May you as graduating seniors summon up re- membrance of things pastf' but reflect on your ex- periences to gain an advantage therefrom, storing away for future use only those memories worth re- taining and, forgetting all else, press forward to the real life which lies before you and wherein lies your opportunity.
