Subjects: Trigonometry, solid geometry, German, Civics. Our beloved principal has not only been our guide throughout high school days. but also a friendly, good-humored teacher. Although he is burdened with many important duties, he al- ways has time to talk over anyone's troubles, petty anxieties and various German questions. The Seniors take this opportunity to thank him for his long- suffering and patience with them through their many failures. We are greatly indebted to him for the good we have been able to accomplish.

Subjects: World History, American History, Latin 1 and ll. Light as a feather, gay as a breeze, that is Miss Laird. She is friendly to everyone, and as pleasant as a sunshiny day. Her discussions of the ways and means of school systems as they should be are unsurpassed in their persuasive powers. A. A. CZAPF, B.S., M.A. Diploma, Mt. Carmel High School, 1926, B.S., Franklin and Marshall College, 1930, M.A., Columbia University, 1934, Teacher East Lampeter High School, 1930--. Subjects: Chemistry, Biology, General Science. Having entered East Lampeter as a teacher in 1930, Mr. Czapf has gradually become known among the students as a master of sciences. His interest in addition to his broad knowl- edge in the biological world, has carried him into the depth of nature, searching for everything from the amoeba to the ele- phant, from the fungus to the eucalyptus tree. His humorous stories of college days as remembered by all, will serve as a constant reminder of his cheerful disposition. REBECCA C. LEAMAN, B.S.

Subjects: P. O. D., Consumer's Mathematics, Civics, Algebra. When we see a pair of big dark brown eyes, flashing at us, we are sure that Miss Leaman has detected a misdemeanor, but on the other hand, she can be cheerful as the first robin in Spring. lf you want to know the whys and hows concerning governmental details, ask l1er. She can really get down to the bottom of things and explain the deepest problems. The Seniors especially like to ask her advice because she in- variably helps them out with her unfailing interest in them. 12

JOHN H. FOOSE I received my education in the schools of Carlisle, Pa., Lan- caster elementary, and Lancaster High School. I also did special work at State College. Graduation! It is a big and an exciting word to each of your number. It has always meant the ending of secondary edu- cation, but yet the beginning of higher attainments. Each one of you will embark upon some individual adventure because life is just that. Make the best of your adventure. Foremost in your minds should and must be that there is a place for each of you to aid humanity. To you belongs the heritage of discovering new fields and bettering the old. Keep that pinnacle of success and adventure always before you. The Board of Education extends to you, the class of 1940, its most sincere wishes for unbounded success and happiness. MElNNO G. SAUDER Mr. Sauder has been serving on the board of directors in the Goodville Mutual Casualty Company for the past eleven years. He completed the course of education given in that district at that time. He is now engaged in poultry raising. To the senior class of 1940: You are to be congratulated upon concluding successfully your high school career. May each and everyone of you aim high at some noble venture you desire to win. What makes great men and women in this world? Not what ue can do for ourselves but what we can do for others. As you are now to part and follow different vocations of life, many opportunities will present themselves to you. May you grasp them before they pass by. However, the greatest oppor- tunity you will have in your life is to take Christ as Lord of your life. To each member of the class, I extend my best wishes and hope you may be successful in all your undertakings in life. W. A.

Message to the class of 1940: A pertinent question for a graduate to ask at commencement time is this: What do I have to show in return for the time and energy I have expended at East Lampeter High? The answer would he acadf-mic knowledge. This is good but there should be added certain qualities not so easily measured in semester hoursg such qualities as vision, tact, energy, adaptability and honesty. These help to make a pleasing personality. Never in history has there been greater demand for competent men and women than to-dayg therefore, it is necessary to become fitted to handle successfully lifeis problems. Let your life work he noticeable so that it will not go unnoticed by othersg be a student all your lifeg endeavor to gain a good reputation and constantly study your individual weaknesses and strengthen all weak approaches. 1 wish you success in all future undertakings for 1 will be pleased to learn of the progress of all members of the class of 194-0. ll
