Faculty Space and words are inadequate in expressing our gratitude to the teachers of our school days who have done an excellent job in pointing out to us the right and wrong roads of life. . Although many people have jobs in which they start at the bottom and continue until they reach the peak teachers must always start anew after they have completed teaching one class. There is no peak of .achievement to their work, no high or outstanding climax as class after class of graduates steps out into the guideless world. Their satisfaction comes from the fact that it is their teachings which will provide their reward and their praise. p A X f X l, X1 NS' N MISS JEAN ACKERMAN, B.S. MISS VERA BARTHOIQOMEXV MR.

Supervising Principal MR. JOHN N. LAND Supervising Principal To the members of the lass of 1947: The time is almost here when you will don caps and gowns, and, with a pleasant thrill of excitement and pardonable feeling of pride, march to the stage of the Hamburg High School Auditorium and receive diplomas attesting your graduation from the Hamburg High School. It will have cost the taxpayers of the State and, more particularly, of the local school districts in which you reside, approximately one hundred thousand dollars to bring you to this important moment. Are your communities justified in this huge annual expense? The answer to this question lies in the future and with you. If you can show the world that you are better men and women because you have received a high school education no one will ever begrudge a cent of the money spent. The increased generosity with which the public supports the schools would seem to indicate that graduating classes in the past have proved their worth. They have not disappointed the hopes of their parents and friends. And when I read over the roll of this class, stopping for a thought- ful' moment at each name, I am convinced that the members of this class, too, will bring honor to the school and credit to themselves. If the other high schools of our country do as well, the future of America is secure. 101-IN N. LAND Seven
