Miss RUTH COCHRAN Une of Freeport's outstanding women and one whom every student honors is Miss Ruth Coch- ran. She is an embodiment of all the character- istics which one who teaches and leads should have. Miss Cochran is Vice-Principal and Dean of Girls, as well as the trigonometry teacher and adviser of the Junior Honor Society. Mr. C. Overton Tremper, the Seniors' helper. is the director of Senior High guidance. He is responsible in part for the future of all F. H. S. students. Last year he was instrumental in getting some 330,000 worth of scholarships for the graduating class. ln addition to his admin- istrative duties, Mr. Trelnper is the F. H. S. haseball coach. Adminiszfration and Guidance MR. C. OVERTON TREMPER MR. JOHN RANDOLPH The Junior High guidance program has a three-fold aim: to help students adjust to high scllool work, to assist students to make plans for their future education, and to provide need- ed vocational information. This work is car- ried on through interviews, assemblies, and tests under the able Mr. John Randolph, J. H. S. director. Mr. Wesley Southard, Vice-Principal and Di- rector of Athletics, works especially with the seventh graders. He is trying not only to adjust his students to high school responsibilities but also to instill courtesy towards their fellow stu- dents and elders, truly worthy aims. Freeport's fine athletic records attest to his generalship in that area. fllb MR. J. XVESLEY SOUTHARD

Mn. MAxmN M. Mawsmsncrn Memories Thanks for the Memories might well become the theme song of the Class of 1949. Since we are inclined to forget the disagreeable experi- ences of life and prone to remember those ex- periences which have brought us the greatest satisfaction and happiness, memories of high school days become the most precious and prized possessions of all who graduate from Freeport High School. In a talk to high school students, the merchant prince of America, the late Marshall Field of Chicago, once listed the following twelve things worth rememberingnz the value of time, the success of perseverance, the pleasure of work- ing, the dignity of simplicity, the worth of char- acter, the power of kindness, the influence of ex- ample, the obligation of duty, the wisdom of economy, the virtue of patience, the improve- ment of talent, the joy of originating. As you leave your Alma Mater, you will carry with you memories which will endure: Memories of fellow students who by their friendship and loyalty helped you better to understand and appreciate the infinite worth of character, the power and influence of kind- ness, your obligation to duty, and the impor- tance of the improvement of your God-given talents, Memories of teachers why by training, ex- perience, and personal example, taught you the value of time, the pleasure in hard work, the joy in creating, the virtue of patience, and the success which can only come to those who per- severe, Memories of faithful and loyal parents who have stood by you from birth, who have shared your joys, your thrills of accomplishment, and each and every noble ambition, and from whom you have learned the worth and dignity of simple things. Learn how to cherish your memories. They will inspire you while young, they will strength- en and encourage you in middle life, and in old age they will comfort you and bless you. On Commencement Day, pause for a moment, think of your happy days in Freeport High School, and thank Cod for your memories. MARTIN M. MANSPERGI-:R Principal
