4 THE TOOT EDITORIAL “A book giving facts about the current year; published annually.” That is the de- finition given to the word yearbook. Yet it is more than that; it is the thoughts and ideas of future citizens of America; citi- zens who will hold our public offices, and shape our policies, foreign and domestic. Here, in their high-school yearbook, for the first time in their young careers, the gradua- ting class members can express themselves to their utmost ability. It is here that the mature citizen can rightly judge the younger generation. And, I believe this same mature citizen would have more faith in us, the younger generation, if he became aware of and sought out the values of our opinions and ideas. Does he not realize that we will live tomorrow by the decisions made today? In order to form well-rounded opinions and to make decisions, one must have an ed- ucation which touches the realms of not only textbooks, but those of public-speaking,dis- cussion of world affairs, mental and physical hygiene. We, the class of ’47 feel proud to say that we have had a well rounded pro- gram of such activities through the efforts of the faculty. Through our combined efforts we have accomplished this goal essential to law abiding, law making, and law enforcing citizens. Wherever the class of ’47 may seek its fortunes, it will carry with it the virtues and ideals taught it by its Alma Mater. Thus we hold this yearbook as a directory to the per- sonal lives of the students it represents; as good an introductory letter as one may find. It will be an introduction of the student to the public which will continue as long as he or she is willing to partake in the service of his fellow man. Here in this our yearbook, we, the Class of ’47 have assembled our fruitful years at C. H. S., our dances, our picnics, our activities. Now at its close we find it difficult to bid goodbye, to go our separate ways. We hold this same feeling for our faculty and the Board of Education to whom we now grate- fully give thanks for their thoughtful guid- ance and help. —BRUCE BURNS BOARD OF EDUCATION Claude B. Ellis, President Mrs. May C. Phillips James C. Grilli Donald Shuler Glen F. Bogardus, Clerk This year after twelve long years of hard work and loads of fun, we, the Class of ’47 leave our glorious Alma Mater. At this time we’d like to express our humblest appreciation and gratitude to the Board of Education, without whose guidance and assistance our success would have been impossible. This body of capable men and women toil ceaselessly behind the scenes of our school system for the betterment of educa- tion. For this they seek no reward. Once again we say “thanks”. —MARY TORNABENE
