LL ABOARD THE BUS . . . . . . for fun, surprises, thrills, and what we, the Crier staff, hope will be a journey of enjoyable reading. A The very first B. H. S. representative we met was the school bus, which took us to our first day of schoolg and when our twelve years of work and play came to an end, this same bus deposited us at our door for the last time. As the theme for this year's Crier We have chosen this symbol of our school, our same faith- ful school bus. Come with us and climb aboard the bus for our final trip through Boardman High School. Neither snow nor rising prices could squelch the efforts of this year's Crier staff. The editor would now like to have the pleasure of thanking the people who Worked so hard with her to make your Crier a success. To Nanci Martin, the Assistant Editor, to the art staff, to the Business Managers, and above all to Miss Walsh, who helped us in so many ways, to Mr. Genuske, who kept us out of the red , and to Mr. Allen and his staff, whose photo- graphic skill enlivened your book, the editor says Thanks again for your help. Nancy Pilgrim, Editor Nancianne Martin, Assistant Editor Carole Bodin, Art Editor David Crouse, Business Manager Donald Liechty, Assistant Business Manager

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
