GETTING ADVICE . CONCERNING ooLLEGE Left to right: Jeanne Wright, Miss Faulring, Mr. Simmons. MR. SIMMONS TEACHER from the Hamburg schools was heard to remark concerning the schools which she had visited, that the principals, offices were quiet and peaceful places seldom disturbed by the intrusion of students of the school. This is in marked contrast with the office of Mr. Simmons, Principal of Hamburg High School, for all students are encouraged to see him personally to talk over any difficulties or any successes which may have come to them. Much of Mr. Simmons' success as a principal may be laid to the fact that he keeps in personal touch with the students. MISS EOKHARDT AS students who are in high school look back upon their past school days, there are certain names and figures that are outstanding. One of the most prominent in Hamburg High School Seniors, memory is Florence Eckhardt, Principal of Hamburg Junior High School. To her the Senior Class of 1935 owes a deep debt of gratitude for setting the high ideals and standards which will inspire its members all the days of their lives. MISS ROBBINS THE children of the grade school have a true friend and the school system has a valuable asset in its grade principal, Lovina Robbins. Many of the present seniors look back with kindest emotions to the days when they first entered school. It was she who made timid five- year-olds forget their fears and learn to enjoy the work, play, and asso- ciations with schoolmates. Left: Miss Florence Eck- hardt. Right: Miss Lovina Robbins.

DR. MQFEITT UR school system is very fortunate to have at its head a well-known, capable, and efficient educator, Dr. Frederick J. Moffitt, who understands very well the problems which are facing all schools today, as well as those confronting our own particular school. Although Dr. Moffitt occupies a high position, he still retains that capacity for understanding the problems of the individual student, for his kindly smile and friendly handclasp are known to many. Being a former newspaper man and a National Counsellor of Quill and Scroll, he has done much to raise journalistic enterprise to the high position it occupies in our school today.

Beattyj Fifteen BCARD QE EDUCATION ITH anxious taxpayers watching its every expenditure and the inevitable small group of laymen endeavoring to influence the policies of the school, the Hamburg Board of Education has steadfastly held to its trust- watching over and directing the educational welfare of its charges, the boys and girls of the community. To this group of civic minded citizens, who give so much of their energy and time for so little thanks, the class of 1935 wishes to express its deep gratitude for what the Board has done for the pupils of this school.

Seventeen FACULTY T is well known that the faculty of Hamburg High School is more than just a faculty. It is a group among whom the students count many of their best friends. The members help, not only in the regular work, but also in extra- curricular activities. The faculty has long been recognized for its professional excellence. Larger schools have lured away many of the finest teachers with the bait of better pay, less work, and greater opportunity for advancement. Many mem- bers of the old guard, however, still stand by the fort, and we salute them. Several teachers are leaving us this year for various reasons. In the art department, Miss Isbell will be replaced by Miss Margaret Houston who obtained her A. B. at Buffalo State Teachers' College. Mr. Svvansonis place will be taken by Mr. Bronson M. Collins, M. A., Cornell. Miss Schoonover is leaving to be married, but her successor is not yet known. Miss Roosa, who is also leaving to be married, will be replaced by Miss Dorothy A. Butts, a graduate of Cortland Normal School. Miss Marjorie Ann Kaufman, A. B., Syracuse, is coming here next fall to teach journalism, public speaking, and dramatics.
