Appreciation to the Administration During the current school year, Fallsburg Central suffered its greatest loss in its short nine year history, with the passing of Superintendent of Schools, Leon J. Weiss. His departure from the scene at an early age, left a gap which will be extremely difficult to bridge. If the value of one's place on this earth is at all measured by what he gave and left for his fellowmen, then the price on the late Mr. Weiss was a very high one, indeed. If his efforts in behalf of the present graduating class are translated into those precepts of kindness, tolerance, good-will toward men, and helpfulness which his life embodied, then his efforts will not have been in vain. Many students will soon forget the quadratic equations in Algebra, the theories of Newton in Physics, and other such similar matters. However, the concepts of human values and understanding as propounded by the late Mr. Weiss, should remain with the Seniors forever. • four LOUIS BLUMBERG, Principal

dedication X'c mourn, with deep regret, the death ot our Superintendent, Leon J. Weiss, and we wish to express, to some degree, the esteem with which we regarded him. Through our entire school life we, as students of this school, have profited by his understanding, and within this period he had endeared himself to us by his amiable character, his warm, unforgettable sense of humor, his earnest devotion to duty and the hearty interest he manifested in our welfare as people. Each one of us has had reason to remember his many acts of forbearance and words of kindness. Often when we unin- tentionally neglected a duty or made a mistake, we always received friendly consideration at his hands. He was never too busy to discuss our personal problems. Through his open door policy, which was truly an invitation to come in and pour out our woes, he gave us gentle counsel and encouragement. We are sorry his shining light has dimmed so early in our lives but deeply appreciate, and are exceedingly grateful for the privilege of calling him our friend. • three
