“Memory Of A Helping Hand.”. . . . Administration Through thick and thin, through the good years and the bad, through salary cuts and salary raises, this man has never left his post. First as Coach and Science teacher (1919-1921), then as Vice Principal (1921-1925), and finally as Principal, Mr. Howard J. Sheen has always put the welfare of his boys and girls in senior high school ahead of personal ambitions and opportunities for more money in other fields of endeavor. For thirty-five years he has been the counselor and friend of the young people of Corry in senior high school, and it is the wish of all that he continue in this job as long as he can. PRINCIPAL HOWARD J. SHEEN Message to Seniors: The present senior class will. without doubt, be the last class to be graduated from the present high school building. The present building was first used in IOOO. It is now fifty-four years old and is to be replaced with a beautiful and spacious new building. am sorry that you seniors will be unable to enjoy the benefits of the new building but know that you will be glad that following classes hare an opportunity to use it.

The 1954 Corrian Says Goodbye to the Old School Thou uilt remain to memory dear. GOOD OLD SCHOOL Alas! Old School, we’re leaving thee To peaceful quiet solitude. No more will footsteps echo here Or students laugh in joyous mood. Fear not! Old School, that we forget Those wonderous memories we shared, We hope for many years to come Your loving walls will still be spared. But some day should you be destroyed And on the site new buildings grow. You’ll still live on deep in our hearts 'Cause, dear old School, we loved you so. Kathie Gage ’55 This year of 1954 finds the Corrian in its last year of production at old C. H. S. In keeping with this, the Corrian staff has chosen a theme of memories to carry the reader through the never to be forgotten pages of the annual Corrian. The Senior Class of 1954 will look back in the years to come to old Corry High and once again feel the inner glow and pride of being the last class to leave her halls of joy and sadness.
