Farewell, members of the Class of 1948: I am sorry to see you leave Glen-Nor, but in or- der to fulfill your destiny you must continue with your plans for the future. My sincere wish is that you may secure the ad- vancement you merit, and that the joys of the com- mencement season may be the forerunner of future suc- cesses together with contentment in your chosen fields. In parting, allow me to congratulate you on having received a liberal education from a generous community and a conscientious faculty. Success is within your grasp. You have sowed the seeds which will, if properly nurtured, bear fruit of which you can be justly proud. I have shared your joys and your sorrows, your successes and your failures. Now it will give me great pleasure to follow your progress in the game of life. At all times feel assured that Glen-Nor has re- served an important place for you in her garden of Russsu. E. BAMBERGER, M.S. Gettysburg College Supervising Principal memories. lElID GUIDHIICE As seniors, you are no atom bombs or super structures, but in your own world you have the po- tential power to do great things. Today-through knowledge won in class and on the field, through the endeavor of those who have tried so hard to point the way, you are ushered into a new way of life. You have reached but a plateau in life, the fruits are far above. You alone know the task you must be willing to tackle. May you recall days sparked by your quest for knowledge and memorable hours made gay by plea- sure, but may you not forget the mistakes which served as guideposts to a fuller preparation. Now you will join the throng of those who passed before you, and-WE WISH YOU WELL. May your achievements grow nobler with the years, and may reminiscences include many times thoughts of your alma mater. EDGAR E. Rrcmmns Russnu. E. BAMBERGER EDGAR E. RICHARDS, M. ED.

The men and women who are most responsible for our school's policy, and yet are probably the least known to the student body, are those citizens of Glenolden and Norwood who form our School Board. Since the day Glen-Nor came into existence there have been many of these, all of them vitally interested in community youth, Officers of that important first board included a presi- dent, vice president, and secretary: F. H. Roberts, Robert Lewis. and Lamont Stewart, respectively. Officers of today's board include a president and a treasurer, who are members ot the elected body, and, as of this year, a secretary hired by the group. Serving in these capacities are W. Rust, I. S. Hebden and Mrs. B. Stewart, respectively. sm MR. W. W. Rusr President Mn. I. S. Hnannu Mx. I. W. Lauren Mn. H. C. HILL Treasurer Mn. O. Slmnnrncsn Mn. I. Rlcxrn Mn. R. Nmwr: Mns. D.

Famous H. Bissrnn, M.S. Exhibits Supervisory lunior Superintendent. It's a far cry from 1922-23, when Glen-Nor's faculty included only 17 members and only one supervisor, Dr. Carl Leech, none of whom are still with us. Today serving on it are 31 teachers, and two administrators, Mr. R. Bamberger and Mr. E. E. Richards, all of whom hold at least a bachelor's degree. Thirteen of them also hold a master's degree: five, a Master of Edu- cation, seven a Master oi Science, and one, a Master of Arts. In addition, five are working for advanced degrees, one even on his doctorate. Yes, Glen-Nor's faculty is well qualified schol- astically. Apparently teachers like Glen-Nor, for the average teacher stays at least three or more years. At one extreme are Miss R. Hassler and Mr. R. Bamberger, who have been with us for the past 21 years, and Miss F. Biester, who has oeen with us for 19 years. At the other are Mr. ,js .7 Dn. CARL Lsncx-I, iirst principal, now County R.
