Close-Up The 1946 Senior Class wishes to ex- tend its gratitude to Ethel M. Bosley, who has directed the course of this book from its embryonic stage to its completion. Her charming wit, which has saved many trying situations, and her unselfishness in expenditure of time and energy have won her the respect and admiration of her students and associates. Her modesty and sense of justice can not be matched, and she is a fine example for us to follow in the years ahead. We seniors realize we will meet few who, like her, will be tolerant of our petty faults and capable of bringing out our best qualities. For her kindness and generosity, the class of 1946 dedicates this book to Ethel M. Bosley, splendid adviser and a fine lady.

Editorial Again it is time to portray in word and picture the activities and daily routine of Ferndale High School. Basing our publication on the theme, Life at Ferndale High School,” we have endeavored to present a simple yet thorough account of student life and work for the year 1945-1946. It is our sincere hope that the record in these pages is adequate to enable each of you to recapture in the future the exciting, joyful days spent at Ferndale. This twenty-second annual issue of the Reflector, true to its name, reflects in perma- nent form the highlights of work and play which combine to make the pattern of school days. Every student from the seventh through the twelfth grades is included in the pic- tures of the various classes. Every organized activity of the school is represented by a picture and an article summarizing the year's program. Classroom work in various de- partments has also been covered pictorially. Less formally, the snapshot sections round out the year's record by revealing the students in their ’Tighter moments. But our book is something more than the record of a year in school. Between these covers is enclosed a bit of the very heart of our nation, for beneath happy-go-lucky exter- iors are concealed the characters of the serious citizens of tomorrow. Not with fear but with understanding these seniors go forth to meet the responsibilities of the future. Educa- tion has given them the tools to accomplish their part in building and maintaining peace. Theirs is the opportunity of helping create a better life for all the peoples of the world.
