RESIDENTIALLY Residential expansion in Frewsburg has progressed from the massive, pillar- ed house built by Frewsburgts first settlers, James and Mary Frew in the year 1 82 1 9 to the modern, compact, split-level house of today. Between these two houses are hundreds of others, from Which thousands of enlightened citizens claim their background. INDUSTRIALLY Formerly, all Frewsburg had to show for industry was a general store and a hotel. Times have changed. Although Frewsburg is far from being a teeming metropolis, she is the location of several new enterprises. These establishments have contributed greatly to her wealth and posi- tion in the county of Chautauqua.

Frewsburg Witnesses Growth. . . This is Frewsburg-a town like all others, yet just a little bit different. This is the new Frewsburg; the growing Frewsburg; the Frewsburg of today. A writer once stated that even a town possessed a soul In no other place can this be brought to light more than in Frewsburg. From a dwelling of one person, she has grown into a community embracing thousands. Her early youth attended a one-room school house. Today, the building of schools can hardly keep pace with her ever-increasing demands upon the education of her youth. From an industry consisting of one store, Frewsburg has grown into a com- munity of diversified industry.'And yet, while all this change is taking place, her peoples contribute their sacrifices, however small, to their common God. This is the soul of Frewsburg. Who knows the future of Frewsburg? Who knows when she will stop growing? Frewsburg Will not stop growing until her people run out of ideas, until there exists no room for improvements- because this is Frewsburg. . . .SCHOLASTICALLY From the one-room school houses of the past, to the multi-roomed monstrosities of today, Frewsburg is symbolic of the ever-changing roads to education. In the past, school consisted of occupying the same chair for twelve years under the direction of the same teacher. Today, students shuffle from class to class, meeting new teachers, and add- ing to their knowledge new theories of science, culture, and history. Religion has been a guiding principle throughout the development of our nation. Because of this faith in humanity derived from a faith in God, America has achieved a promi- nent position in world culture. This success of contribution originates in local communities such as Frewsburg. In Frewsburg, this spiri- tual growth is being symbolized in the con- struction of new churches and improvements in the old. This construction shows the sacrie fice our community has endured willingly for their God.

DEDICATION TO THIN E OWN SELF BE TRUE . . applies to many facets of life. In the educational process one must apply himself to strengthen his weak points and to sustain his strong points. We, of the senior class, know of no other way of recognizing this quality than through the dedication of our yearbook to Mr. Douglas A. Randall. A person can hardly be considered Wholly educated until he has experienced Mr. Randallis progressive and outstanding methods of teaching. In the field of sports, Mr. Randall has continually emphasized the qualities be- fitting a sportsman: the desire to win, but the fortitude to lose gracefully; the ability to recognize our mistakes, and the desire to rectify them. It is these qualities Which we believe exemplify his personality. Mr Randall, thank you for the privilege of your influence.
