In Appreciation LYNN F. PERKINS We, the senior class of 1957, wish to express our appreciation, and that of present and past students of Hadley-Luzeme Central School and surrounding communities, to you for the many years of service you have devoted in the interests of education. Your efforts, in making the First Supervisory District of Warren County a leader in the state, have benefited all of us, either directly or indirectly. Lynn F. Perkins was bom at Schuyler Lake, Otsego County, New York State, Jan- uary28, 1887. Parents: DonLidell Perkins and Almena Palmer Perkins, a farm family. In 1892, the family moved from Otsego County to a farm at Lacona, New York, where Lynn attended two one-room schools and later a Union Free School. About 1900, the family returned to Otsego County and Lynn attended school in Richfield Springs until he was in the eighth grade. After another move, Lynn finished the eighth grade in a school near Hartwick. He attended Hartwick High School for a year and a half. In 1904, Lynn and a brother attended Cooperstown High School and, after another move in 1905, Lynn graduated from Richfield Springs High School. After another year at this school, he entered Syracuse University, where he had a tuition scholarship. He graduated from Syracure with a Ph.B. degree, with a major in his- tory. Since Lynn had decided on teaching as a career, his minor in college was one called Pedagogy. While at Syracuse, he became a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity and lived at the fraternity house for two years. In 1910-11, Lynn attended Harvard University and earned the Master of Arts de- gree in political science. Lynn's first position was as principal of Sherburne High School (Chenango County).

Dedication MRS. MADALENE MANFRED MR. JAMES CORKLAND We, the senior class of 1957, dedicate our yearbook to you, Mrs. Manfred, and to you, Mr. Corkland, in appreciation for the loyalty and interest you have shown in us and our many activities, as students of the Hadley-Luzerne Central School. The kindness and understand- ing we received when we somewhat fearfully entered kindergarten and the world of formal education meant much to us, having left the guarded security of our homes. The wisdom and capable leadership we have been afforded as seniors have had an equally important ef- fect upon our way of thinking. Now, as we are completing the first phase of our education and are about to take a big step into the adult world, we will endeavor to carry forth the principles and ideals that you have instilled in us, and apply them in such a manner that we may become responsible citi- zens in our world community, as a lasting tribute to you, our hon- ored teachers. 4 Class of 1957
