What could be more natural than, that the progeny appeal to their parents for assistance and guidance. Always receptive to our pleas for aid, they bestow unsparingly of their time, experience, and patience in order to elucidate our problems and to alleviate our troubles. More solicitous of our welfare than we are ourselves, they constantly endeavor to spur us on to greatness. That they share our achievements is eloquently expressed by the emotion mirrored in the proud parent's eyes when the child utters its Hrst word or takes its Hrst step. Teachers, counselors, assuagers, and confidants-parents preeminently mould our philosophies, characters, temperaments, likes and dislikes. The achievements of man stand as monuments in commemoration of their efforts. The destiny of the world was placed in their hands and they have coped with it. Fully cognizant of the fact that we cannot compensate them, we the Class of 1947, as a token of our esteem and appreciation, dedicate this, Our Yearbook. to our parents.

Foreword The publishing of a yearbook worthy to bear the name REFLECTOR is not an easy task, nor is it the work of a few, For many long and tedious hours the staff has toiled to compile the highlights of your short sojourn at Cumberland High School, Since the instigation of competitive spirit by the National Scholastic Press Association, all former RE- FLECTOR boards have endeavored to present their edi- tions in new and different forms. The Class of 1947 does not Wish to fail in this respect. By using up-to-date methods of skillful photog- raphy whenever possible, We have been able to capture you in every mood-both jocose and pensive. To those who will read this book: to fellow stu- dents who will take pleasure in reminiscing: to the teachers who have encouraged us through four fleeting years: and to the parents who have cherished us: we offer, The Reflector-Volume IX

Messages to the Seniors Your graduating from high school means that you have completed one step in the acquisition of knowl edge. Coming as it does at an early age in your life. it is but the beginning of a gradual growth which in the alert and progressive individual should never stop. Unfortunately for many. however. mental development seems to be synonymous with going to school. Your high school preparation should serve as the foundation upon which your mind should grow and expand. drawing from the countless opportunities for further learning to be obtained from meeting people. working with people. and serving people. The learned man is cultured. he is refined. he is helpful. he is responsible, he is trustworthy. and he is cognizant of his duties and obligations toward his fellowman. The foundation for such learning has been built for you during your four years in high school, the type of structure you will build depends on you. on your ambition and your willingness to con- tinue to learn. Henceforth the world in which you live is your school: your daily experiences. your teachers: your success or failure. your diploma. BERNARD F. NORTON Superintendent of Schools To you. members of the class of 1947. I wish success and happiness in the years to come. but above all. that you will carry forth in your everyday life the valuable lessons gained in school. Your diploma is a special reward for work completed. It also indicates that you have a certain amount of intelligence. It will profit you to put this intelligence into action for the common good. to seek the truth. to have ideals and to discern moral values. A school is proud of its graduates who attain renown. but its true success is measured chiefly by the unheralded actions of good and intelligent citizens, whose work and influence. be it ever so small. raise the standards of life in their community, and in some way contribute to the happiness of mankind. Especially in those measures. depend the success of your secondary school education. GABRIELLE M. ROY Principal
