Srcchoille High School One of the most difficult writing tasks in preparing a yearbook is to find words to thank the Board of Education. These are the men who, in the literal sense, give freely of their time to promote academic and social standards. Each man here is a leader in Brookville, and each is vitally interested in giving us the best in teachers, up-to-date equipment, and educational opportunities. So, you see, it is difficult in a few words to say an adequate thanks for the things we so often take for granted. Prone ter A 0{j Academic Soard education Dr. Craig Hendricks, H. Chester Markle, David D. Reid, M. G. Van derhofF, Clair E. Hepler. 22

TEACHER OF THE YEAR - ft We, the class of fifty-four, have elected as our teacher of the year a man whom we all like and, above all, respect. He has devoted his life to teaching physics and chemistry as well as driving into his pupils the need for less nonsense and more reading of good literature. He, himself, is an example of a well-read person with his excellent vocabulary. In addition to helping us in high school, he helps those who want to go to college or into any other type of training. We, the class of fifty-four, thank you. Doctor Gayley, for being what you are, and may your ideals never falter, for we are sure the classes which follow us will enjoy your lectures and classes as much as we have.
