WE MARCH THROUGH YEARS OF LEARNING To the ECHO-from the Board of Education: Your Board of Education welcomes the invitation and the opportunity to contribute to the pages of your yearbook some of their thinking as to the function of education in our schools. We, as a board, are intensely interested in what you are interested in to the extent that such inter- est promotes your well-being in behalf of the pro- gress of our community. That progress is deter- mined by what you, as students, do, not only for your individual self, but also by what you do in re- lationship to maintaining the highest possible stan- dard for the school and the community. The responsibility for your progress is inherently our responsibility. We are always proud of your achievements-for you are our children. And to- day's children are tomorrow's successful citizens. May your good tortune continue. giflzilx ' :L a , ,X ky-1 N-J-f N.,-,lem N mx f l X x y Wifi X' N ,, ' . 7 Q ,N1x' l f n' ' NW lil XX A ff f!!! 4 I I fl!! I yy fx '- C .f 4248 . will ll

LEADERS IN OUR WORLD TO THE ECHO- From F. C. GILLESPIE Superintendent of Schools You call your yearbook, The Echo -and rightly so. For the yearbook has become a bit more than just an echo. Besides being a compendium of heart-warming memories, it is the only medium that in the coming years will link you with your high school days. And you will wonder at times about your classmates-where they are and what they are doing. Then, reverentially, you will pore over the Echo pages and say I knew her when-. For a few years you will be in close touch with all those pictures, and then, as your careers develop and your paths diverge, the Echo still remains faithful in keeping your friends alive in retrospect. The Echo is all the more valuable today since your classmates are inclined to scat- ter themselves over a greater expanse of the country in search of-well, let's call it successful happiness. But the Echo isn't always just for graduates and under- graduates. The school itself relies upon the Echo as a sort of reference book of personal statistics. The Echo often talks between the lines much more eloquently than a group of grades on a year card. And, then, there's your picture. And it's the picture that recalls you as a student -as you were then. You are quite alive there. That's the echo of you in the Echo. SECRETARIES R. A. KENNEY E. C. HARVEY E. HREBENACH 9 l l i RAY Y. HENRY, Principal Our World as seen through the pages of The Echo The main characters are the members of the Graduating Class of l948. Each is an individual with a specific ambition to enter life's competitive economic organization. This modern world is a network of human ener- gies linking all persons in a cooperative effort and in a common fate. Our graduates will continue to create because we are free to use our individual energies and free to cooperate among ourselves. Our High School is a small community with diversified activities as you may see pictured in this yearbook. No organization is closed to any student or group of students. Most all members of the Class of i948 realize whoever iniures another injures himself because he decreases the oppor- tunity for gains that come through cooperation, friendship and exchange. The other characters in the Echo are the under- class members. Our world will receive them each year with or without enthusiasm depending on your hard work and cooperation. Our alumni owe to each graduating class their most sincere efforts in their chosen field. Our High School is recognized by your success. Throughout the world, the United States is recognized as the land of opportunity, lt is your duty and obligation to make use of our freedoms and opportunities. RAY Y. HENRY, Principal.
