Secretary CLASS POEM A SENIOR'S DEPARTURE 'Tis time for us to get ready and go, 236 seniors right in a row. We've spent four years with this worthy institution, But now our school life has come to a conclusion, Some will go to a university or a college - To increase, strengthen, or broaden their knowledge, Others will seek their chosen jobs f- The rest will probably marry their old heart-throbs. We regret the fact that our time has expired And we must say goodbye to the school we've always admired. To the underclassmen we give this advice H You will use your time economically if you are wise. To the faculty, principal, and superintendent, We will admit that you must be commended For serving pupils by creating intelligence And for assisting people who must have negligence. So good-bye to you all and a cheery farewell It was grand being with you for such a short spell. Class Flower - Gardenia Class Colors - Silver and Crimson Class Motto - One truth is clear, Whatever is, is right. 5 5151112 anh white

He completed work on his master of arts degree in the University of New York. Teaching in the Berwick school system since 1925, Mr. Shuman first acted as instructor of physics and chemistry, In 1937 he was elected principal, which office he now fills. During this five year period of office school authorities instituted two new courses, the industrial arts and the home economics. Homogeneous grouping was successfully attempted in the upper classes. Sports were prosperous with basketball twice taking regional honors and the football team finishing one undefeated season and four other above average years. Improvement in the school proper included newly-painted halls and rooms plus a modern intra-communication system. The marking system was revamped with letters substituted for numerical averages and the passing grade lowered from 70 to 60 per cent. 4 131112 anh white
