if 4, tk f , f' 4- f Arg DEDICATIO When many of the student and recent graduates of Findlay Senior high were situ- ated in the various grade schools throughout the city they found a true friend early in their academic years. As most of us may re- member, Mr. Kinley was a person sincerely interested in our well being and advance- ment during our entire tenure as students in the Findlay public school system. We developed rapidly a lasting respect and deep admiration for the cordial super- intendent. Pupils looked forward to his fre- quent visits to their respective schools, as many were impressed and assured by his unshalcen confidence in the younger gen- eration. Now that Mr. Kinley has departed from our service, it would seem at first consideration that the upcoming legions of Findlay youth are indeed unfortunate not to benefit from his presence in an administrative capacity. But upon further reasoning it becomes evident that a part of F. L. Kinley will always be present to provide the initiative for future advancement and outstanding achievement in the public schools of this city. f-lis strong character is a part of the beau- tiful structure that is Findlay high school His personality reflects also in the four mod- ern new elementary buildings of Findlay, in the quality and capability of the local faculty and in the highly regarded academic stand- ards of our schools. The city will always bear traces of the imagination, foresight and creative ability of Fred Kinley, a man who contributed much to its growth.

Nor is the genuine test based upon its academic achievements, curriculum or so- cial functions, but upon the quality, morale, ability and understanding of its faculty. As the graduates go on to college or into busi- ness they will reflect the training received in secondary school. Modern youth demands teachers who possess sincere interest not only in the par- ticular subject areas, but also in the problems and outside interests of the younger gen- eration. Faculty participation in community projects serves to demonstrate the principles exercised in the classroom. As we reflect the events of the school year that are now a part of history we forget the arduous tasks of correcting papers, preparing tests and averaging grades. We also find the duties of making assignments, student dis- cipline, faculty meetings and committee meetings somewhat vague in crowded mem- ories. Outstanding in our minds seem to be the many more pleasant memories such as those of the exciting contests of the Trojan Athletic teams, inspirational chapel programs, social activities, scholastic achievements, talent days and other extra-curricular functions. These are rich, growing experiences which can be enjoyed immensely by those who love to teach, work and play with young people. May we keep young in spirit through such contacts and continue to pursue our profession as an enlightening, glorious adventure.
