To the Class of 1948: Please accept my congratulations to the Black - hawk staff and to each member of the senior class. Our hats are off to you for the effort you have given to reach graduation time. For many of you this is a real accomplishment as it has meant sacrifice on your part as well as that of your parents.

People who have a high purpose and who are determined to achieve it have high morale. Some high schools have newer buildings, more extravagant equipment and greater facili- ties than ours, but none need have a finer spirit or morale. It is our purpose to create and main- tain this spirit which will make and keep Daven- port High School a truly great high school. Rogor Berry, principal. Many things go toward making up a great and successful high school. Among the physical things are the teachers, the students, the build- ing. and the teaching and laboratory equip- ment. However, all schools good or poor have these things in varying degrees which is proof that they alone do not guarantee a successful school. The far more important thing which contrib- utes to the success or failure of a high school is that which we speak of as spirit or morale. This is determined by the human relationships between the students, the teachers, and the clerical and custodial staffs. It involves the rec- ognition of the worth of education, skill in motivation on the part of teachers, and the desire to success on the part of the entire staff and the students. Attending to their duties arc Miss Ernestine Martin. Mrs. Norma Post, and Mrs. Birdine Tucker, members of the high school office staff. 9
