FIICIILTV ir There is a group of competent people in our school to whom we refer with the general title of faculty . Almost all of us have learned to know each of them separately and to be grateful for the many thoughtful and kind things that they have done for us. Each room in school has become meaningful to us because of the personality in it. We have worked with and for these people and have found them conscientious in their aims for us and helpful in their individual guidance of us. If in the past, we have taken for granted their tireless labors, we pause to compliment them for their persistent effort. Many of them spend extra hours helping with activities from which we get most of the benefit and a great deal of the fun. We hope that in the days to come we may live lives that will justify and do credit to the skillful training and excellent characters of those who have taught us. science l Q l l L First Row: Mr. Burdick, Miss Stanbro, Mrs. Schnecken- burger.

Second How: Mr. Graves, Mr Webster, Mr. Bean, Mr Cain, Mr. Adams THE BUHHD OF EDIICHTIUII ensr nunonn man scuool The management of a high school is a difficult and complicated affair. We, of the East Aurora High School, are fortunate to have acting on our Board of Education, a group of competent and interested citizens of the community. Their selfless concern for the young people of the area is proved by the fact that they receive no remuneration for their service, other than the satisfaction of service to the community and the pride that comes from a successful school. Mr. Irving L. Price, President: Mrs. Donald E. Maytham, Vice President: Mr. Edwin T. Bean, Mr. Donald T. Graves, Mr. Richard W. Adams, and Mr. Wil- liam Webster are all members who have served long periods of worthwhile administration. Equally valuable, although relatively new members, are Mrs. Raymond L. Moore, Mrs. Edwin A. Brewer, and Mr. I. Forrest Cain. The Class of '45 is proud of our Board of Education . . . for what they have done for us and for our teachers: we are grateful for their support and regret to see the termination of a most pleasant association.

Henry, Mrs, Plain, Mr. Bird But at least knowing before your own conscience that you are not mouthing things you do not know and do not under- stand . . . that at least you have tried to see clearly. Reasoning, not to confute past experience, but because you see that past experience of each man now dead has given you higher eminences upon which to stand and thus see further on than they could. ERIC KNIGHT, This Above All IIIIITHEIIIIITICS First Row: Mr. Smith, Miss Boldt, Mr. Hickey Second How: Mr. Marlowe . . In final sum, we must somehow . . . live that the quality of life itself shall be good and lead on fruitfully to other and finer living. How each one does this- that it is which for him builds his indi- viduality. And it is the quality of that living that counts. WILLIAM L. KILPATRICK, Democracy and the Curriculum BIISIIIESS Mrs. Parker, Miss Kaiser, Mr. H. Henry Then, at home again, came a sense of elation with the realization that here were opportunities, millions of jobs, big jobs and small jobs for all us kids, young kids and old kids, if only we could be saved from the old illusions and fairy tales and taught to see things as they are, straight, as solvable unsolved problems and oppor- tunities.
