FOREWORD. .. Gratz High School-how much that means to us! It has been our school home for three years. We have conquered much that is behind the doors of our beloved school and now new doors lie before us. It is lor decisions to come that our high school experiences have prepared us. There are many memories that are bound together in our Record Book-the many new friendships: our hard-worked-for A's, B's. and C's: the thrill oi the pep assemblies, and those breath-taking touchdowns. On our high school days we turn our backs. but our hearts, never. In mem- ory they will always live. Not until we understand ourselves and translate what we are into temls of life. do we really begin our education. As a mater of fact. growth can come about in no other way than through re-education every day ol our lives. 5, I 6 b29f5f,1ig4'221uv?W'fY '1 V'- V vw f 1 'lvwwiul' ,ef-si - ' ' -' .- . - k

Principal TO THE CLASS OF IUNE 1948 Ralph Waldo Emerson, the New England poet and essayist, once wrote The things taught in schools and colleges are not an education, but the means of education. The significance and full meaning of this statement are not always understood by students, who may confuse the true meaning of education with outward forms. Education is not a commodity to be bought for a price, neither does it result from the cramming of subject matter in order to pass examinations. All the things we teach in the Simon Gratz High School, as well as all of our extra-curricular activities, are but the means of education. All the many ex- periences and influences which have been part of your school life in these happy high school years have been means to develop, guide, and inspire you. That is the function of the curriculum and these activities. The growth and the development of your personality and your individual abilities is the real education. You have now completed twelve years of public schooling and have met the requirements prescribed by the Board of P'ublic Education for a high school diploma. . I wish to congratulate you on achieving this goal and I want to extend to you my best wishes for your success and happiness. , ' Sincerely yours, E. Carl Werner Principal
