This year we, the Senior Class of 1944, wish to pay special tribute to Mr. Myers, who for the past four years has been our principal. Since the beginning of his career at Parker High School, he has endeavored to raise our school spirit through numerous improvements about the school. His first year here was not one of action, but rather of observation. The next year found Mr. Myers a very busy man. First and foremost on his list of improve- ments was the change in the report card and honor roll systems. Report cards were issued every five weeks and an honor roll was made up with every issuance of the report cards. Our transportation facilities were improved, including the purchase of the station wagon. More money was appropriated for library books. Interest was aroused in our music department, our sports, and in a series of afternoon clubs. In connection with our sports activities, Mr. Myers promoted pep assemblies before our basketball and soccer games. The cheer- leaders were furnished with new outfits. The boys on our athletic teams were spurred to greater athletic ability by the presentation of trophies to the outstanding players. In connection with the war effort, Mr. Myers encouraged our scrap drives; he installed new pre-induction courses for the boys; and he introduced a series of educational movies which were shown in our weekly assemblies. Two of his outstanding achievements were the establishment of the kindergarten and art department in the school. As a class, we feel that it was through Mr. Myers that we established much of our social prestige. Therefore, we wish to take this opportunity to show him how deeply grateful we all are for his assistance throughout our high school career. Five
