XfALLEY BuGLE IuNE,1947 We Bid Goodbye To Prin. H. F. Hoffman We are saying goodbye this year to a man who has made our impressionable years en- joyable, enlightened ones. His undying patience, his sincere interest in each and every student have made our contacts with him a. wholesome experience, in which prob- lems could be discussed candidly in a friendly atmosphere, with the realization that a satisfactory solution would be reached. During the nine years that the students of Gowanda High School have been guided by this individual, numerable improvements in the extra-curricular and curricular activi- ties have been instigated. The new athletic field was dedicated, a distributive education department and an agricultural department have been established. Valuable adult edu- cation classes have resulted from the war training program sponsored during the years of world conflict. Surely these projects, in their entirety, have advanced Gowanda High School several rungs up the ladder of progress. We can never truly express the gratitude which we feel for association with a person who has imparted priceless wisdom into our everyday lives. The student body thanks Principal Harold F. Hoffman for his whole- he-arted efforts to make us intelligent, toler- ant citizens and 'hopes that his every future undertaking will be as successful as have been all of his accomplishments in the past. sold will that Office Communique Managing Editor HAROT,D F. HOFFMAN on the American Way, that you help create a nation so strong no nation with other ideologies To The Class of 1947: Greetings and best wishes. I like to think that your class has seriously tried to move Gowanda High School a little farther upward on the road to democratic education. While we, as individuals and as classes, accept our responsibilities for alert citizen- ship, our school exerts an ever in- creasing force in making the Ameri- can Way of Life safe from any foe. In the critical years ahead, may you and every person who has attended our public schools be so thoroughly will that dare attack us. Let us recognize we have glaring weaknesses which must be corrected -as fast and as nearly one hundred per cent as we can. That is your opportunity. We will watch you with genuine interest. as you go on to school or as you go to work. Drop into school whenever you can to say hello, Though we are parting let us hope that we will .meet often and revive fond memories. Gowanda will always be our home town . HAROI.D F. HOFFMAN
