. . . and These. Familiar Faces . . . The Parent-Teachers Association helps to bring the parents into closer contact with the teachers--much to the students' dismay. Mrs. Mary Tobias, the school libra- rian, willingly helps the students to find references and interesting novels for class Work. Dr. Tom Lewis, the school physi- cian, helps us with our ills and wor- ries. He has us all saying ah. Miss Marie McElwee, the school nurse, wants to know why we are absent from school. She keeps our temperature down. Miss Rhoda Sams is secreiary to the superintendent and clerk of the Board of Education. She is rarely seen, except at lunch time. Mrs. Pauline Findlay is the princi' pal's secretary. Students, teachers, visitors, and work haunt her office all day long, but her patience is un- ending. The Messrs. Richard Rosser, Michael Narclonne, lohn lones, and Harry Saltzgaber are congenial friends to all the students and teachers. Mrs. Martha Lewis' specialty is cook- ing. Her meals help to make us healthy and happyfthe prices keep us hungry!

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS CHARLES WALKER SHORT, President IANET MACY. Vice President PATRICIA ANN WOOLARY. Secretary CHARLES AUGUSTUS WT-IIPPLE, Treasurer After Twelve Years ot Preparation T I-I E We as young people have been working with our teachers for approximately twelve years with the primary purpose always in mind that some day we could take our places in a social and economic world-in a world that We know needs the very best that we will be able to give. Again, as young people, we well realize that what our America holds for the future depends largely on how well we are able to meet new and difficult problems in a fast changing world. We must attempt to challenge the statement of the older genera- tion that youth is soft and decadent, that times are not what they used to be even a few years ago. ln spite of parental claims, the youth of today start life with certain definite advantages over their grandparents. Increased longevity, the increase of health and hygiene education, the rising interest in sports and outdoor life stimulated by our school activities, all tend to make this an accepted fact. Another heritage of twentieth-century youth is an excellent edu- cational system. ln every state of the Union there are elementary, secondary, college, university, and professional schools. ln the range of opportunities which the best of these provide and the flexibility of the educational system as a whole, our American schools surpass those of any other nation. ln the light of these facts, we should endeavor to take advantage of the unlimited possibilities which are offered us. Even though we are just finishing our first phase of educational training, it is not too early to evaluate ourselves, so that we can pursue a care- ful course for the future. We can then some day take our places in a world where we can be of the greatest service to our fellow- men. 1 9 4 Z 18
