To The Class of 1952: One of the functions of the public schools is to teach citizen- ship and to train youth in democratic principles and practices. The purpose of education is to provide the opportunity for each individual to grow to his fullest as an individual and as a member of society. While in school you are encouraged to think for your- self and to think correctly. No citizen has any right to shift responsibility for his own thinking and conduct from himself to any organization. You have inherited certain rights and privileges. You must also remember that every right carries with it a duty. Too many people talk about their rights but forget the corresponding duties. Two of your most fundamental duties are obedience to lawful authority and service to your government and fellow citizens. Let it be your ambition to make the fullest use of all your talents and opportunities so that you may return to the com- munity in faithful service at least as much as the community has invested in YOU- HOWARD J. YEAGER, BA., MA. HOWARD bl. YEAGER Supfriirzteizdfnt of Srhools The Adminzstmtors To the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Howard Yeager, has gone the responsibility for the past twenty years of carrying out the school board's recommendations, supervising the borough schools, and continuing to uphold the high standards of the Emmaus schools. He has carefully devised the curriculum for each school and has selected the faculty to teach it. I . ' To the Principal, Mr. Allen F. Heller, for the past twenty-five years has gone the responsibility of supervising all curricula and extracurricular activities in the High School. It is also his job to correct and advise students who have broken school laws, and he is well-known for his fairness and Justice in dealing with these pupils, and all others who have problems. D a Much praise is due the administration for its efforts, which resulted in the accreditation of the high school by the Commission on Secondary Schools and its acceptance as a member of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. To The Class of 1952: Graduation is an important milestone of onels life. It brings us to a point where we sever ties of comradeship with our class- mates, teachers, and school to face real life alone. This we do with a feeling of sadness and anxiety. What lies in the future? Is there a chance for success? The answers he within ourselves. Opportunities of the future are great and the world is waiting for those who can take advantage of them. Science, education, religion, and medicine have advanced so rapidly that we have been left breathless. The human family needs moral and religious leaders, statesmen, teachers, physicians, scientists, artists, and businessmen, who will forget self in the service of others. Success depends upon determination to work and sacrifice to reach a goal, love of God and fellowmen, and willingness to submerge self in the service of others. May you attain success in life and be happy in your work. ALLEN F. HELLER, B.S. ALLEN F. HELLER Prififipal ,9-

Board of School Dztectors To these seven men, elected by the voters of Emmaus, we owe the progress and administration of our school system. It is they who lay the ground work essential for the education of the citizens of tomorrow. Theirs is the responsibility of selecting the faculty, supervising school activities, financing the schools, and the maintenance of school property. The Board of School Directors is subject to re- gulations by the State and its duties are definitely outlined by a school code. At their meetings, held on the first Thursday of each month, they employ their business and pro- fessional experience to solve the problems concerned with school affairs. The school solicitor, Attorney Theodore R. Gardner, executes all legal documents and renders legal advice to the Board. On December 3, 1951 two members of the board, Mr. Claude Keller and Mr. Raymond Miller, who served eighteen and six years respectively, were replaced by the newly elected members, Ralph Schappell and Arlington Moyer. We greatly appreciate the deep interest which the members of the school board take in all our school functions and are truly grateful to these men who have faithfully given their time and energy toward bettering our education. Administration Secretaries Gerry,' and Pat are the hard- working, pleasant, and efficient sec- retaries Who handle class funds, make bus reservations, and sell tickets. In addition to all these duties they also operate the telephone switchboard, keep the student records, and do all the clerical work for the administration. Cooperative and helpful, these two young Women have been of great service i to LIS. i Miss LESTER MRS. GUTH .. 3 .-
