RALPH S. DEWEY Superintendent of Schools Mr. Dewey has been associated with our schools for the past seven years and has taken an active interest in every class graduating during his administration. From the days of affluence and prosperity through those of depression and retrenchment, Mr. Dewey’s great interest in school affairs—our activities, our athletics, our band—has never wavered and we, the Class of ’33, wish to express our gratitude to him for the many things he has done for us.

MESSAGE TO SENIORS The commencement season is a time for looking both forward and backward—forward with hope and expectation—backward with the satisfaction of achievement. At the time you were born in 1914, 15 or 16, your cradles were rocked with the unsettled conditions caused by the World War. When you were entering school in 1920 and '21, the country was trying to readjust itself from the effects of that war. During most of your school days prosperity was abroad in the land. Now you come to the end of your public school career amid another period of re-adjustment. It would be natural at this age in your lives to do one of two things either continue your education in preparation for your chosen profession or to begin at once to help do the world's work. Most of you will not be able to do either of these things as soon or in the way you desire. That does not mean that there is nothing for you to do, but it does mean that it will be more difficult for you to find the opportunity for service that is open to you. During the past twelve years you have been developing your intellect, your personality and your abilities. During the coming years you will be testing the value of this training. This training should enable you to adjust yourselves to the conditions which you will meet. If it does not do this, either the type of education you have was not the best for you or you have not made proper use of your opportunities. For many of you the days of formal classwork is ended but you must not consider that your education is completed. During your school years you have been taught to study; how to attack new problems; how to direct your thinking; to have an open mind toward new ideas and a tolerant attitude toward those who have convictions, ideals or duties different from yours. Growth will continue as long as you permit it. May each and every one of you find happiness in a noble life and personal achievement as well as in humble service to those with whom and to whom you are permitted to serve. This is my hope for your success, Ralph S. Dewey, Superintendent of Schools. Four

MESSACE OF THE PRINCIPAL I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the staff of the Corrian in publishing such a worthwhile year hook. Many students have contributed their time and effort to make the hook possible. It is indeed an accomplishment to publish a hook when economic conditions are so adverse. It is only by the dint of hard work and excellent co-operation that these conditions have been overcome. There is a deep seated satisfaction in knowing that a job has been well done and I know that the students of Corry Senior High School have accomplished a very worth-while project in publishing the 1933 Corrian. For life is a mirror of king and slave, Tis just as you are and do. Then give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you. Selected. Principal Six
