HIS is the story of a gallant man, a friend who endeared himself to the hearts of both young and old. Only a few were aware of his illness, for who would imagine that such a gay manner and a willing to help attitude could hide poor health? How shocked and saddened were those who knew him when they heard of his sudden death. When forced by illness to stop teaching, he created his own position, declaring that he would rather wear out than rust away. As Director of Audio Visual Aids he helped to bring the outside world into the classroom. As Visiting Teacher he was always willing to take home any student who was ill, or to substitute for an absent teacher. His cheery smile and pleasant disposition were familiar to the little first grader as well as to the seniors and graduates. No one shall ever forget him. It is with honor and sincerity that, as our small tribute, we dedicate the 1951 Crier to the memory of our friend and teacher, Mr. Eldon L. Hawk. In memory of MR. ELDON L. HAWK, who departed this life March 13, 1951 I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead. He is just away. With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand He- has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you-O, you who the wildest yearn For an old-time step and the glad return, Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here. Think of him still as the same. I say, He is not dead-He is just away. James Whitcomb Riley

i.1- ' 1 LL buses must have guides, and our bus is no exception. With our faculty acting as guides to those passing through the halls of B. H. S., We know as We come to the end of our journey that they have succeeded in leading us to a higher education. Although at times he may seem un- aware of their efforts, the wise Boardman student fully realizes the tireless patience which our teachers possess. This patience, combined with unselfishness and skill, has given the student body the opportunity of becoming intelligent citizens of our com- munity. As we disembark from our bus, we can be proud and grateful that this Boardman faculty has guided us so willingly and thoroughly during our journey. ff X c, X N 5 L - a K 'f-. i 1 if ,- , l I X s..f f 'F P' ,, .-fv .., I ff ul 1--j
