Hartwell lf ever fondest prayer For other's weal avail'd on high Mine will not all be lost in air, But waft thy name beyond the sky. The poet Byron, in these lines best expresses the thought in my heart as l bid adieu to Hamburg High School and the many loyal friends and able co- workers among whom l have labored for' the past five years. If there has been given you, as a result of these years of effort anything of knowledge that will serve you in the battle of life, anything of inspiration or desire for the higher things of life that really count, or anything of power that will the better enable you to serve your fellows, l shall consider my period of tenure of this office rich indeed in its returns, because, my friends, far greater than the satisfaction in helping to acquire new playgrounds, or beautiful new buildings, in improving the scholarship or perfecting the organization of the school, is the satisfaction that comes to one at the thought that he may have contributed ever so little to the building of a life. It is, therefore, with a prayer of thankfulness for the richness of the opportunity that has been mine, of hope that l have made some small' con- tribution to your lives worth cherishing and of future good will to you and Hamburg High School, that l bid you farewell. ' FORD R. PARK 311151 a math nf Appreriatinn The reputation of a school is shaped to a large degree by the efforts of its superintendent. Hamburg High School has steadily progressed during the last five years, until it holds an enviable position in the scholastic world in many ways. Several notable achievements have been brought about under the super- vision of Ford R. Park, who resigns this year to accept a better position in the Buffalo schools. The Junior High School division which is steadily being adopted by the more up-to-date schools was established under' Mr. Parkis direction, four years ago. The Washington trip for Seniors, which is a liberal education in itself, was also originated by him. Another of his great improvements in the management of the high school is the institution of the supervised study period. Largely through the efforts of lVlr. Park the new school project was brought before the people of Hamburg and is now in the hands of the architect. He has been a prominent figure in many activities outside of school, especially in the Boy Scout movement. Mr. Park will surely be missed in his capacity as superintendent, both by his pupils and his many friends outside of school. We, the pupils of Hamburg High School, sincerely wish him success and happiness in his new position. -9..
