CRITERIA Dr. Moffirr For the entire period of time that we have been in school, Dr. Nloflitt has supervised us, directing us to- ward becoming better citizens. He has guided us, through education, into becoming democratic-minded students. He has generously given his time to our aid. He has helped us choose our courses, assisted us in selecting a school for our further enlightenment, and has aided some of us to attain scholarships. For this reason we, the class of nineteen- hundred and forty, wish to extend our appreciation for his many serv- ices. We feel that we are losing a close and dear friend. Mr. Simmons As a democracy needs a capable, energetic leader, so Hamburg High School has had one in Mr. Simmons during the past thirteen years. He has never been too busy to confer with students on their problems or to lend assistance. His keen judg- ment and sympathetic understand- ing have won for him a place in every student's heart. Although his friendship will be greatly missed, the students feel certain success will follow him as he begins another venture.

Board of Education The civic minded citizens comprising the Board of Education have care- fully guarded and directed the educational welfare of the students. Their whole-hearted desire to help has created a spirit of cooperation and sympathy which has been manifested between the pupils and the Board. A wise expen- diture of school funds has resulted in a balanced budget without depriving the students of any privileges despite a decrease in appropriations. It is this group which has made available the fine teaching and excellent leadership of a good faculty and provided a well equipped school in which to work. 15

Each year it has been her task to welcome a large group of seventh graders and help them be- come acquainted with their new school life. Furthermore, she has held conferences annually with all freshmen explaining the various courses offered in Senior High and trying to set up schedules to fit their needs. By tireless effort and unfaltering patience Miss Eckhardt has demonstrated to all, her skill and mastery as a leader.
