Deep-seated and dominant in human nature and fundamental to all real progress is the desire of parents to make life richer and better for W- M- RICHARDS their children. The American people have placed the public school first as a means for accomplishing this end. Their faith in public education has caused them willingly to levy taxes, to build school buildings, to purchase equipment and to employ teachers. Many parents have made great personal sacrifices to keep their children in school. Schools have not always been as good as parents desired. But in times of prosperity and in times of adversity, during years of drought or flood and during years of abundant crops schools have been maintained. May every pupil who attends the Emporia Public School and every teacher who serves keep the faith of those who have made public education a part of the heritage of American youth. W. M. RICHARDS, Superintendent of Schools. Miss HELEN FELTON Secretary to Mr. Richards Eight

RICE E. BROWN Each year some two hundred or more young men and women graduate from the Emporia High School. The completion of a high school course means more today than ever before. Practically every position of importance requires at least high school graduation. We hope the three years which the members of this 1940 graduating class have spent in Emporia High School have been happy and profitable ones. Whatever you plan to do after graduation, we want you to know that our best wishes go with you. Your Principal, RICE E. BROWN. Miss CHR1s'r1N1p BONCZZKOWSK! Sc'crz'tury to Mr. Brown Nine
