DEDICATED to the MEMORY of MARILYN FAY WESTRATE 1936-1952 There is a mystic borderland that lies Just past the limits of our work-day world And it is peopled with friends we met And loved, a year, a month, a week, or day, And parted from with aching hearts, yet know That through the distance we must loose the hold Of hand with hand, and only clasp the thread Of memory, but still so close we feel this land. So.sure we are that these same hearts and true, That when in waking dreams there comes a call That sets the thread of memory aglow; We know that just by stretching out the hand In written word of love, or book, or flower, The waiting hand will clasp our own once more, Across the silence, in the same old way. “Sweet as the tender fragrance that survives, When martyred flowers breathe out their little lives; Sweet as a song that once consoled our pain. But never shall be sung again. Is thy remembrance. Now the hour of rest Hath come to thee. Sleep, loved one, it is best.” -Henry W. Longfellow ADMINISTRATION COURT HOUSE Board of Education BOARD OF EDUCATION These men unselfishly take time from their busy lives to plan for our present and future school needs. We, the seniors of 1954, extend our thanks to the members of the Board of Education who have done so much to make our school years ones we shall never forget. FRED W.H. HALL, M.

The Widow Gyurkovics (Marlene Harris) is trying to get her older daughters married off. When Mitzie (Shirley Dayharsh) is expelled from boarding school, bedlam breaks loose.

Katrinka (Beverly Shogren) finally snares (Colonel Radviany ) (Frank Glover); Sari (Jo Arnold) catches Michael Sandorffy (Bob Newsted); and EUa (Marge VandenHeuvel) tricks Gida Radviany (Karl Bates). With her older sisters married. Mitzie can marry Horkoy. Janko (Jack Miles), and bungling butler, and Toni Telekie (Richard Haynor), the lisping cousin, added more comedy.

The Student-Teacher Advisory Committee is made up of the class advisors, class presidents and vice-presidents, and an elected member from each class. Its job is to discuss problems concerning the school and students as a whole. This committee gives the students of each class a voice in school problems and programs. One of the projects of the Advisory Committee sponsored in 1954 was the safety program. Also we chose the second-team cheerleaders, which is a regular duty of this committee. Another purpose is to bring to the student body a sense of responsibility to and for their school. This includes loyalty, sportsmanship, and courtesy at all times. F. H. A.
