 j£)edica tion We, the students of Corunna High School, with deepest sympathy iand respect would like to dedicate this 1952 volume of the Sphinx to Attorney James Allan Quayle. Attorney Quayle was prominent in all civic affairs, and was, at the time of his death, City Attorney of Corunna. Aside from his profession, Mr. Quayle was very active in educational circles and in fraternal organizations. He served twelve years on the Cor- unna Board of Education, holding the offices of President and Secretary- Treasurer. He also was Presidentof the County Board of Education in 1951. While amember of the Board, he was noted for being a strong advocate of decentralization and believed that the community's responsibility was to maintain th eir own school and often took issue with those who were attempt- ing to consolidate the local districts into large centrally controlled units. In fraternal organizations he was a member of Corunna Lodge No. 115, F. A. M.; the Corunna Chapter No. 33, R. A. M.; Owosso Commandery No. 49, Knights Templar; and the Elf Khurofeh Temple at Saginaw. Corunna High School may be proud of this graduate, and present-day students may look upon his life as an example of fine Christian living. 3

A MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS For a dozen years you have been training in the skills for the building of a successful life. We of the faculty wish that each of you might have the privilege of continuing your educa- tion in some college or University, but, from here on, for some of you it will be self-education, if you continue to growmentally. Good books, poems and magazines can lift one to wider horizons or help weather difficult times. Words have power, words are ideas. Ideas move the world. Ideas can move you. Through ignoble words we m ay trudge the gutters, or through noble words tread the high places of thee arth or universe. The choice is yours. The best of luck and may success be yours! Mr. R. L. Stull PRINCIPAL Commencement is but a few weeks away. Many friendships will be brok- en; there are many farewells to be said. This parting may appear to be pleasant but do you realize that many of you will never meet again as you venture out on life's pathways? May I urge each of you to become the better men and women of to- morrow. Mr. C. R. Lubbers SUPERINTENDENT At last the time has come when you are completing your high school edu- cation. Perhaps most of you will never opena school book again--you are now graduating from high school. Remember, your education is not completed; it is only begun. Have you appreciated your high school days? They were the best days of your life--and gone, never to return. We are told that opportunity raps at every door at least once. Are you prepared to accept this opportunity when it comes to you? Perhaps you will have to answer, Sorry, I am not prepared; pass on to another. What about your high school preparation when the time was right? Was it be- cause you felt that it would require a little more effort than you wanted to put forth? Are you going to let a few difficult tasks hluff your way a- long--but what have some of the rest of you done? Never be afraid to do a little more than is required of you. Some of you plan to improve your education to prepare for your life work. You will all find that the world is in greater need today of brother- hood, tolerance, unselfishness and men and women of per sonal'integrity. 5
