.Miss Helen Hibbard We all regret the retirement of our friend and teacher, Miss Helen M. Hibbard. A graduate of Elmira College, she joined the Academy faculty in 1502. Since 1916 she has been head of the Mathematics department, as well as student guidance director. In recent years those of us who have come in contact with her, know her best as girls’ adviser. Miss Hibbard will always be highly esteemed by the graduates of the Academy because of her genuine interest in each student, her human understanding, tolerant good humor and never-failing tact. During the years to come the memories of her work will serve as an inspiration to many discouraged people. The Class of ’39 has been privileged to have Miss Hibbard as a teacher and fellow friend. Our sincere wishes for her happiness are only a small part of the joys we hope she may realize in the future years.

Albert B. Helmkcimp To Dr. Helmkamp the Class of ’39 wishes to give its heartfelt thanks. Without his help and friendly guidance, our path during these high school years would have been less well-lighted. Because of his keen interest in each individual and his personal interviews, we have become better fitted to go out to the world and face its problems, and to carry the torch higher. We want him to know that we greatly appreciate his efforts and that we desire success for him in all of his undertakings as principal of the Elmira Free Academy.
