In Memoriam Early in our school term, the students and teachers of Curwensville Public Schools suffered a tragic blow. Dr. E. S. Erhard, President of the Board of Education, died, leaving a vast emptiness in our hearts. Dr. Erhard was not only interested in community affairs, but he also gave generously of his time and energy in local activities. He was president of the Board of Education for twelve years. In addition to his regular medical practice and school board duties, he served as Acting Coroner and then Coroner for four years. Although he suffered ill health during the latter years of his life, he carried on without a complaining word. He was more than an active citizen of the community, he was a friend to all whom he met. The Clearfield PROGRESS has expressed our sentiments very well in these words: Others in Curwensville may treat the sick, serve in public office, earn the approbation and gratitude of the people, but no one will be found to fill the unique niche in Curwensville life that Dr. Erhard carved for himself.

MR. F. LEE MYERS Supervising Principal Another senior class is saying a This has been Mr. Myers' first year with us here in Curwensville. His accomplishments during the year have been outstanding. Prior to his coming on July 1, 1946, Mr. Myers had been the supervising principal of the Coalport-lrvona Public Schools. We hope that Mr. Myers finds his work and every-day life in Curwensville very enioyabe and profitable, and that his associates are cooperative and helpful in carrying out his plans for the improvement of the school system. We especially hope that his dream of a new school building can soon be realized. I I fond farewell to its friend and advisor, Mr. Briggs. Many have been the iams through which Mr. Briggs has helped the boys and girls of C. H. S. Always a faithful and understanding friend and teacher, Mr. Briggs came to Curwensville on August 25, 1937, and has been teaching math and science to the pupils of Curwensville High School for nearly a decade. Through his efforts and untiring work Curwensville High has made great progress since his arrival. We wish him lots of luck and more success through the coming years. The Echo - 7 MR. WARREN H. BRIGGS High School Principal

Marie Murphy To the Board of Education, the group behind the scenes that directs the Cur- wensville Public Schools, we owe many thanks and much gratitude. The five members of the Board are elected by the voters of Curwensville Borough for a term of six years. These citizens are drawn from every walk of life to serve for the common good of the school sys- tem, without monetary reward. Though their task must often seem a thankless one, we assure them that we do appreciate their services. The persistent and unrelenting ef- forts of the school directors to establish a broad educational program are cer- tainly worthy of merit, and we hereby express our sincere thanks to them. ,f Mrs. Marie Murphy Mr. John G.
