Emerson High School - Emersonian Yearbook (Gary, IN)

Page 10 text:

The educational interest of the students has bettered itself through the years. Each generation or graduation class con¬ tributes to the school its unique set of values. The teachers and student leaders must receive the credit for improvement. Another yearbook has been produced to help perpetuate the memories that have real and lasting values. To the staff we must say, thank you for a job well done. Marion B. England Principal Marion B. England Assistant Principal John H. Smith Assistant Principal James Pugh

Falling into line in the passing parade of memories are the faculty ... as diversed in appearance and personality as the classes they taught. Behind desks and before blackboards we thought of them as animated textbooks. Over cokes and under blue football skies we knew them as people. We polished their apple, cribbed their tests, slept through their lectures, cut their classes, and laughed when we got away with it. Yet we respected them. For eventually we realized that our tricks weren ' t so new and clever. They had been used by thousands of students in hundreds of schools, and were known by actual practice to the very teachers we sought to deceive. We saw most of our teachers five times a week. We Seniors who are finally on our last lap around Emerson can truly thank the faculty for doing so much for us.
