Dedication ,... Time-a jet of memory that ' ' makes glad the sun. TO MRS. MARCELLA ROLPH DARLING Oldest Living Member of the Corry High School Alumni Association The 1949 edition of the Corrian is re- spectfully dedicated to Mrs. Darling, a member of the class of 1875, the second class to be graduated from Corry High School. The Corrian staff feels that Mrs. Darling should be so honored, on this, the 75th anniversary of the Corry High School Alumni Association. Corry's Alumni Association is unique in that the files contain the names and ad- dresses of every person ever to be grad- uated from Corry High School. Each June, the organization sponsors a banquet and dance for all members and guests. This is a tremendous undertak- ing, and much credit is due Miss Lena Cohen, of the class of 1903, without whose advice and assistance the enviable record of the association would not be possible.

AlmaM ter Tho' lost to sight, to meniory a dear, Thou ever shall remam E. Down Memory Lane The Corrian Staff started work on the 1949 annual early in September with the hope and knowledge that it would be the Mbest every' year book. Investigation proved that the graduating class of 1949 would be the 75th class to be graduated from Corry schools. Although the present Senior H gh School building was not dedicated until 1899, other classes had for their Alma Mater the old Hatch building, now the Vocational School. The search for a theme was ended when the staff decided to dedi- cate the 1949 Corrian to the oldest living member of the Corry High School Alumni Association, Mrs. Marcella Rolph Darling of the class of 1875. It was also voted to list on the dedication page the names of the living members o the first ten classes. T 0 carry out the theme throughout the book, it was decided to name this edition of the Corrian, HMemories,', with the sincere wish that the diamonds of memory will please the readers now and in uture years.

Mr David L. Swartz p ..... Superintendent MESSAGE TO SENIORS: As the day of graduation approaches your thoughts naturally turn to post high school education or the selection of some vocation in which you will be successful. Many of you have already selected your vocat- ion and have definite plans or aims to be accomplished as you journey through life. It is our desire that you will find the ideas and attitudes formed while in high school as well as the knowledge, helpful in your future activities and associations. We also hope that you will be able to consider wherein our edu- cational program has been inadequate in the development of your cap- abilities and personality and use your efforts to bring about improve- ment in our program for those who come after you. Our schools have great difficulty keeping in step with the rapid change in habits of liv- ing brought about by scientific developments. Scientific research will continue to release men from industrial labor and give people more leisure time which must be directed into creative activities and wholesome recreation. During the years that lie ahead we can expect a great boom in recreation industries, such as theaters, sports, games of all kinds, radio and television. There will be a great increase in travel and vacationing, in the development of hobbies, and the extension of education at all levels. You who are graduating from high school can be sure that there will always be op- portunities for a full and satisfying life for those who understand and appreciate others and who take pride and joy in their work. I congratulate you on your achievement and wish you continued success, good health and happiness. DAVID L. SWARTZ 4 i
