WE HONOR E CATHERINE MCCARTHY To Catherine D. McCarthy, who in her sincere and faithful service at the Attica High School, has established a record for pa- tience, we most gratefully and respectfully dedicate The Torch. In her three years at our school, Miss McCarthy has shown us the value of a competent instructor and true friend. Her virtues have not gone unnoticed, for such qualities can not easily be for- gotten. We, the students of A. H. S. most sincerely hope that many more students in this, and other schools may continue to enjoy the pleasure of such a valuable acquaintance. 3

Runvik. . . .... Attendance Oficer Every member of Attica High School is deeply grateful for the time and energy endowed upon them by the Board of Education. We have indeed benefited from the unselfish accomplishments of the tireless members. Without them, this high school could not be run in unison and order. These people receive no salary, doing everything for the good of the school. The hours they spend at meetings discussing the many school activities are given without thought of reward. If it were not for them, our fine public speaking system, of which we are so proud, would not be here. Many of their projects are for comfort as well as scholastic value. The interviewing and appointment of teachers is another of their many jobs. lt was a hard task for them during the war scarcity. Our fine teaching staff is an example of their good judgment. Every high school in this country is run under the supervision of Educational Boards. Attica can really be satisfied with theirs. Its services have been many. Indeed, when we sum up all the things that the Board of Education has done for us, we all feel very proud to think of them as an important part in our schooling. We really appreciate their achieve- ments and works. The whole student body of Attica High School joins together to express their thanks to these men and women who have greatly influenced their important high school years. i 5
