In the history of any school, there are always those whose influences and con- tributions exceed mere responsibility and whose memory remains indelibly stamped on the minds and consciences of all who come in contact with them. At Huntington High School such a person is Mr. W. D. Scales, our principal. He has executed his responsibilities in such a way that each member of the Huntington family has felt the warm glow of BacnCuues-s—eLucesInCClILy sanG-tiesinter — est exhibited by him.

A HYMN TO HUNTINGTON Guide well our thoughts and send them ever upwards; Cast out the darkness and bring forth the light. O, wondrous God, of beauty and all wisdom Spread out thy hand and show us all thy might. Show how each one of us may gain more wisdom If we should live by thy Great Rule of Right. Dear Huntington, to Thee we sing our praises Of times gone by and never more shall be. Within your walls we gain a lasting knowledge Of faith and hope and love that flows from Thee. With humble hearts we raise our voices high We love you dear when we are far or nigh. CHORUS O, God, as we review the worth of Huntington, Realize do we that all strength comes from Thee. Still guide our minds to reach a greater height And help us know how thankful we should be.

' It is this kind of diligent dedication to duty that has made Mr. Clarence Johnson and Mr. Wilbur Holmes important cogs in the machinery here at Huntington for many years. They constantly look for new ways to ignite within each child a burning desire to fulfill his obligation as a student, thus laying the foundation upon which good citi- zenship may be based. They attempt to im- bue them with the idea of education as the salvation of posterity. {79til ot ee t YOUNG MAN, WHY AREN'T YOU IN CLASS? Mr. Johnson realizes that a school as large and complex as ours de- mands many hours of careful planning.
