MR. GEORGE RE ES DEDICATION We, the Class of 1951, wish to dedicate our Yearbook to Mr. George Rees to show our appreciation for his many contributions to the opportunities of the youth of Minoa, for his constant efforts to provide better recreational facilities for our use, and for his keen interest in our school and its activities. Mr. Rees was born in Redwood, New York, attended Clayton High School and Cornell University. Since graduating, he has been associated with the following corporations: The New York Edison Co., The Aluminum Company of America, the Penn Public Service Corporation, the Meurling and Letchfield Consulting Engi- neering Company, Southern Dye Stuffs Corp., the Thatcher Process Company, the Lamson Company, and the Syracuse Bearing Company, which he organized in 1937 and where many former Minoa High School students are employed in responsible positions. Mr. Rees has been a member of the Board of Education for 10 years and served as its chairman for a majority of that time. During his terms, the enroll- ment has almost doubled, six buses purchased for transporting pupils, and the 'Annex' has been erected. He is Chairman of the Community Council, which sponsors 'Teen Town , where he spends his Wednesday evenings when not on a business trip to some part- of the nation. He travels from border to border and coast to coast at frequent intervals, contacting the leaders of our national industries. lt is a distinct honor to have a man of Mr. Rees' caliber as a resident and participating member of our community. We are proud to call him Friend .
