Boom' of School Directors The progress and administration of our school system can be credited to the effort of these twenty- one school directors. Theirs is the responsibility of electing the faculty, supervising school activities, financing the schools, and maintaining school property. The Board of School Directors is subject to regulations by the Commonwealth and its duties are definitely outlined by a school code. At their meetings, held the second 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. In November 1951, the voters of Alburtis, Emmaus, Lower Macungie and Macungie voted to merge the four school districts into one which is known as the East Penn Union School District. This new merger which became effective on July 7, 1952 comprises eight public school buildings and eighty--five professional employees. Plans for the erection of a new high school are well advanced because of the effort of these school directors. Miss Joan Diefenderfer, Miss Carole Schwar, Mrs. Geraldine Guth, Miss Patricia Lester. ee A Administrative Secretaries The stenographic and clerical work for the school district was handled by these four young women whose cooperation and helpfulness aided in keeping the schools operating effici- ently.

To The Class of 1953: One of the deepest of all human desires is the wish to be important, to amount to something, to feel the certainty of being able to maintain one's place in society. You have now arrived at that point in your life when you will have to decide upon your sense of values. Will you build your own feeling of self-esteem upon worldly power and social prestige or upon values that cannot be taken from you-knowledge, skill at your job, friendships, the ability to find happiness in service to others? Your success in life will depend a great deal upon the decisions you will make at this time. Don't underestimate the importance of succeeding at little things. Do your everyday job to the very best of your ability, and be assured that your accomplishment is not limited by the importance of the task itself. You will be happy and successful if you will develop ideals of honesty, patriotism, fair play and generosity. HOWARD J. YEAGER HOWARD 1. YEAGER, B.A., M.A Superinlendent of School: The Admzhzktrators To Mr. Howard Yeager, Superintendent of the Emmaus Schools for the past twenty years, and now Superintendent of the East Penn Union School District, has gone the responsibility of executing the school board's recommendations and supervising the schools. He has carefully devised the curriculum for each school and has selected the faculty to teach it. To Mr. Allen F. Heller, Principal for the past twenty-six years, has gone the responsibility of super- vising all curricular and extracurricular activities at Emmaus High School. For his intelligent handling of students problems, he has gained a reputation of fairness and justice. Much praise is due the administration for its effort, which for many years has resulted in the accreditation of our high school by the Commission on Secondary Schools and acceptance as a member of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. To The Class of 1953: When the curtain falls upon your graduation exercises, you Pmmpal may feel that you will no longer need to study from books, answer your teacherls questions, or appear in the principal,s office. This may be true, but your education will still continue. Experience will be your teacher, and there will be many lesson. to learn and you will be responsible to the community. In school you took part in government and other activities. These activities should have taught you to help each other, respect the opinions of others, and be good citizens. We expect you to practice these things in everyday life. No one knows what the future will bring, but it is well to have a goal and to travel in its direction. Using today's experi- ence as preparation for tomorrowis achievement will build towards happiness and success. With sincere wishes for your success and happiness, I bid you a reluctant farewell. ALLEN F. HELLER, B.S. ALLEN F. HELLER .-. 9 i IH E
