A Our Superintendent l W. M. RICHARDS Sz1ju'ri11fz'r1z1z'11f It has always been a fundamental wish of Americans to place education as the foundation or the cornerstone of all the things which are strived for to better our country-understanding of others, clear thinking, and the principles of democracy. On the shoulders of our superintendent, W. M. Richards, rests a responsibility of seeing that these American ideals are imparted to us-the students of Emporia High, and to all young people of Lyon County. Mr. Richards, in accepting this task, has carried it out with wise judgment and efficiency. As the world grows ever more troubled and confused, we are grateful and proud to have Superin- tendent Richards at the helm of our public schools. Mus. LENORE M.

She is a graduate of Eureka High School and has attended Emporia State Teachers College. Never before have the obligations of citizenship-spiritual, political, and fi- nancial-been greater than at the present time. Since good citizenship stems largely from attitudes developed early in life, you students of E. H. S. may look back with pride upon the citizenship-build- ing activities which you supported dur- ing 1947-'48. May I extend my sincere congratulations to the graduating class of 1948. . HERBERT I. BRUNING HERBERT I. BRUNING Principal Americans are wondering what will happen during the next two or three years. We all hope that the peace, for which we are working so hard, will become stronger as the years go by. Whatever may happen, we know that the 1948 graduating class of Emporia High School can be counted on to do its part. ' ' I want to congratulate each one of you on completing your Senior High School course. You can justly be proud Q of the high school diploma which you i will receive on commencement night. Good luck to each one of you. RICE E. BROVVN I MARY D. PETTY As girls counselor and Y-Teen supervisor, Miss Man D. PETTY, al- though new to Emporia High this year, is well known to E. H.
