.ll jkree cworife glclucafom Because of her devotion to teaching and in gratitude for the many years she has spent giving service to our community we also dedicate our book to Helga Nielsen upon her retirement. Miss Nielsen has served as head counselor at Hayward for twelve years. Prior to this she taught practically everything from girls' physical education to English and Latin. Wherever she was needed, there she was found. Miss Nielsen belongs to one of the oldest families in the community. As a student she attended the old high school on B and Soto Streets for two years. Riding horseback five miles every day, she finished high school in the new Hayward High in 1915 lour Administration Buildingl. Thank You seems inadequate but is meant sincerely. The future students of Hayward High School will miss knowing a truly fine person. Even though our diligent Head Counselor works many hours overtime, she is always cheerful and efficient. Helga Nielsen gil i fv- Norman Sanders During the past five years, Hayward High has seen many changes in faculty - sending teachers to staff the new schools built in our district each year. We have missed our friends who have departed, but the greatest blow of all is the coming departure of our highly respected and admired Vice Principal Norman Sanders. Mr. Sanders has proved himself a friend to all - students and faculty alike. He has done much to make student life more enioyable since he came here in l938. Mr. Sanders will serve as vice principal at our new Sunset High next year. In appreciation for his fine work, we dedicate our book to him. We will miss him. We hope he will miss us too. I've finally caught you sighs Wanda Bray, Mr. Sander's secretary, as he pauses for a fleeting moment in a busy day.
