ADMINISTRATION To the Class of 1945 of Boardman High School, congratulations and feli- citations upon the successful comple- tion of your high school course. May each succeeding year open new vistas of opportunity to you. May each to- day become a stepping stone for a brighter, richer, fuller tomorrow. May contentment be your lot and happiness your goal in upriht, fruitful living. J. W. TIDD A. L. HENDERSON Congratulartions to you, class of 1945, on having successfully complet- ed your high school course. You had not yet adjusted your- selves to high school when the calam- ity of Pearl Harbor stunned the nation. Since that time you have been subject, both in and out of school, to strains and stresses, to demands upon your time and interests which must have been very confusing. That you as a class have under such conditions, maintained both a high quality of work and all the tradi- tions of the school, is distinctly to your credit. Be assured that our best Wishes and hopes for your success and happi- ness are always with you. 3

FACUTY We represent the average high school student body with the normal ability to have a good time, and, in all fairness, a nominal interest in things intellectual coupled with the usual amount of perseverance. But lately have you noticed the newly-awakened, men- tally alive students leaving a class room conducted by an ani- mated, understanding personality? Our teachers, believe it or not, have through their own interests transformed our learn- ing from a drab, monotonous subject into a deeply personal matter. We now realize the fact that the right to a clear- thinking, free mind is a luxury attained only through constant and conscientious application-a privilege extended to few but sought by many people all over the earth. Let us next visit the gym floor or one of our athletic contests where usually some doggedly de- termined fellow is struggling to establish a new school push-up record-he is even developing a lantern jaw! Our coaches in an extremely unobtrusive manner have been patiently planting and watering the seed which will some day produce well trained and disciplined minds. At social affairs, our props and their wives actually stole the limelight! Often they were the spur towards that novel method of decoration and, as usual, their originality and ingenuity plus their communicable enthusiasm and coop- eration produced heretofore unimagined results. With such friends helping us to establish our goal, any future would appear bright. We shall always remember our faculty, who through their everlasting good will produced fu- ture democartic citizens of the world and instilled in us their standards concerning a better way of life. We are proud to have known you.
