DEDICATIO We the seniors of Frankfort-Schuyler Central School, have had a great gift bestowed upon us, a gift of pride in the school which has aided in the development of our minds and of our personalities, and which has helped determine what path we are to take in the molding of future careers. Our class seemingly rings with a spirit unprecedented in the annals of our schools' long history. Consequently, the student body, for so long inanimate, for so long passive in regard to a feeling towards Frankfort High, has suddenly been brought to life, A great fervor has encompassed all of us. The walls resound with our robust spiritg the halls echo our pride. This spirit, this feeling of pride, is preva- lent in all departments of school activities. We work harder, do better, shout louder, for we have been awakened with something called school spirit, This sincere school spirit is one of the most virtuous and desirable phases of high-school life. Our greatest and most sincere debt of gratitude for this gift is owed to a man whom the seniors, in- deed the entire school, regard with the greatest respect and admiration, a man who has often worked long after school hours to helpus bringthis much needed school spirit to Frankfort-Schuyler Central School. We will never forget what this manhas done for us and for our school. We have spiritg we thank MR, ROTOLO,

The road of life stretches endlessly before us, with each bend promising new experiences and acquaintances. We stand on this road, a product of our past experiences, influenced by those we have met along the way. We of Frankfort-Schuyler Central School greet the future with memories of such a meeting - our encounter with Mr, George Kirby. An indefatigable man, with an unyielding desire to teach, Mr. Kirby remains in the hearts of all those who knew him. One had only to be in Mr. Kirby's presence a short time, to find himself amazed at the astounding capabilities, genuine sincerity, and rich affability of this devoted man. His versatile nature placed him in classrooms, on athletic fields and on basketball courts. His varied interests encompassed all with whom he came into contact. Mr, Kirby captured our spirits as well as our minds and bequeathed us exemplary ideals. lt is little wonder that many praised Mr. Kirby as a teacher, respected him as a friend. and admired him as a man. Now, this man who dedicated his entire life to enrichment of the minds and of the hearts of youth, takes his place on the road behind us. And yet, Mr. Kirby shall remain with us now and in the future showing us the way when we recall his words of advice and teaching. lt is with all humility that we pause to say, as though he might hear us, Thank you Mr. Kirby.
