In the fall of 1945 the Forty-Niners were meek little freshmen stumbling about the halls and class rooms of Byron High, eager to find a helping hand and a smiling face that would make them feel more welcome. Everything was so new! The upperclassmen were so haughty! There was, however, one person who under- stood their predicament because he, too, was new in the school. That We Dedicate person was Mr. E. J. Haire, newly appointed principal. Mr. Haire had left his position at Hume High School to come to Byron in 1945, and he has been here ever since. During the four years that the Class of 49 has spent in its alma mater, Mr. Haire had been ever present and ever ready to help overcome th» obstacles that often seemed insurmountable. With out his patience and co-operation the years could not have been as pleasant or as profitable as they were. During the past years Mr. Haire has striven to keep the standards high at Byron and to enlarge the curriculum in order that appealing subjects may be taken by students regardless of their interests. In addition he has improved the caliber of extra curricular activity until now many of the surrounding communities cannot understand haw such a small school can be so active. For the benefits he has given us, we are grate- ful, and now that the Forty- Niners have reached the end of their high school days, we would like to take this opportunity to say our thanks in a more than in- formal manner. It is for that reason that we dedicate the Bi Hi Forty- Niner to our Principal, MR. E. J. HAIRE.
