Bethlehem Central High School - Oriole Yearbook (Delmar, NY)

Page 9 text:

THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1941 respectfully dedicates this, the 13th annual Oriole, to Mrs. Charlotte Kinney Johnston and Mr. Solon L. Butterfield in sincere appreciation for all that they have done for the benefit of our school in the past ten years as its Athletic Directors. We gratefully acknowledge the fact that they have helped Bethlehem Central to make a name for itself among other schools. What is more important, however, they have instilled the quality of good sportsmanship and the ability to cooperate with others in all who have passed through their classes. The members of the Oriole Staff here wish to express their grateful thanks to its Faculty Advisor, Miss Gladys M. Skevington, without whose invaluable assistance this yearbook would not have been a success. i i

s Mrs. Charlotte Kinney Johnston RECORDINGS SCIENCE HAS GIVEN Us a great many inventions. Some have made it possible to do our work easily and more efficiently, some have made our homes more comfortable, and others have made living more enjoyable. I am thinking of the radios in our homes which bring us a great part of our entertainment. But the radio has one fault. There can be no repeats, regardless of how much we desire them. So I believe recording is the greater achievement. A good recording of a great work will render many times unerringly the work of the artist. On the other hand, a recording with a flaw will never produce a perfect rendition. Each of us has an instrument which makes individual recordings, our memory. In some instances the recordings are most pleasant to repeat over and over again. They are those which say we have been successful. Perhaps we have been thoughtful of others, or we have passed a barrier by perseverance, or we have won an honor, or perhaps we have done our best, and there is that satisfaction that we gave all we had. However, there are those recordings which are distasteful, for they tell us of defeat. Unguardedly, we have allowed a false character to control us, or a bit lax, we have allowed a task to slip by hap- hazardly, or perhaps an obstacle seemed too hard to surmount, and we have that stumbling block always to remember, Each of us is an album of a great many recordings. Amongst mine are treasures of many happy years at Bethlehem Central. Because I prize this gift which I take with me, I should like to leave a wish for each of you: May yours all be 'Happy Recordings'. Page Aix
