1941 THE TOOT 1941 EDITORIAL Four years are a long time when one is young. It is often long enough to make or break men. Therefore, when we entered C. H. S. four years ago, we were entrusting much of the development of our characters to the men and women with whom we came in daily contact. By their word and examples they became, unconsciously the criterion by which we judged ourselves. And they have not failed in this duty. We know that we are leaving high school to become better citizens because of their in- fluence. Standing as we do on the brink of manhood and womanhood, we have seen daily the lype of men and women that we wish to become. Some of us will leave high school to go on to more advanced education; for many of us, formal education will end with graduation day. But, where-ever we go, what-ever our walk of life may be, we will have had the best preparation that men can have, association with considerate, under- standing men and women whose own charac- ters have so often been fountains of strength, when youth needed help and encouragement. It is natural that we should not be with- out regrets on leaving this “foster mother,” our school. Here for four years we have work- ed and played, rejoiced and lamented. It has been a training ground for life, and the les- sons that we carry away are more than Latin or history or mathematics. We carry away a knowledge we owe to all those to whom we are now bidding farewell. —CHARLES BORGOGNONI BOARD OF EDUCATION Albert E. Campbell I)r. David M. Hoyt Mrs. May C. Phillips Joseph Waldo Claude B. Ellis Glen F. Bogardus. clerk During the four years which we have spent in high school, the class of ’41 has realized more and more the value of the Board of Education. We have come to look to them for guidance and help, and their ability and untiring patience have earned them our un- dying gratitude. The success of our present school system has also been made possible thru the aid of these sames ones who represent the various industries and professions and have been very willing to advise us in preparation for our life’s work. They deserve our praise in re- turn for this favor and our special thanks for their interest. In every great organization there exist behind the scenes those who toil ceaselessly, yet seek no reward. They are the bases of all results and success. They are the ones who deserve the laurels. It is thus in our school system and there- fore we wish to express our sincere apprecia- tion to you, the Board of Education for our past, present and future educational oppor- tunities. —DORIS DURFEE
