Griffith Institute Central School - Griffonell Yearbook (Springville, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1955 volume:

SSMSSf PUBLISHED BY Of 1955 AND CENTRAL SPRINGYILLE, NEW YORK The Senior Class of 1955 is proud and happy to dedi- cate this year's Griffonell to you, Mr. Charles Knapp, our principal, in recognition of your efforts on behalf of the entire school, and in thanks for the support you have given our class. m, There must be a backbone to every great organization, and so is the Person- nel's relation to the school. These are the “behind the scenes performers who so gallantly do their jobs without applause. These are the men and women who keep the school in the best of condition —who guard the student's health with wholesome lunches and medical care— who bring the students here each day, safely and punctually—who patiently teach them the three R's—who accurately plan and schedule the school year—who are always seeking new and better tech- niques for the student's benefit.

As each year passes, taking with it the graduating class, there must be a succes- sor, and so it is with the underclasses. These are tomorrow's Seniors. These classes in turn will take over the re- sponsibilities of the Seniors. They are in the home-stretch of this preparation to be citizens, called school. The underclasses make up an important and major part of the student body, and without them, the school would not be complete. j . i S VNPtnCLASSE I Row 1: L. Bankelman, B. Cranston, T. King, D.
