I. HARRY HENSHAW Superiniendenf of Sclzoolf There are days in the lives of each of us that stand out like landmarks on the highway of life. It is doubtful if any event in our lives stands out more clearly in memory than the day we were graduated from the high school. You may go on and be graduated from the college and the university and enter professional life, but each of those events will lack that freshness and thrill which can he experienced only in the early morning of life. Someone has said, Carry the pleasant delusions of youth through to old agef' So in after years, it will be a pleasure for you to remember the pleasant anticipation with which you looked upon the future as you stepped out of school life and into lite's school. Xve all wish that the fondest hopes you have today will he realized in the days to come, Mrs. Gallagher and Nliss Shaw Filing Reports

faculty The opening of school for the 1955-54 term brought many new faces to the classrooms of H-Burg, but it didn't take the eager hard- working, sophomores long to get into the swing. Many changes have occurred in the faculty this year. Miss Davis, American llistory teacher, was replaced by Miss Heppe. Chemistry teacher, Mr. Miller, was replaced by Mr. Lindsey. Mrs. Saylor, English teacher, replaced Nliss Hess. Mrs. Saylor is the sophomore adviser. Miss McGregor, music teacher, was replaced by Miss Ross. Nliss Langham replaced Mrs. Gallagher, Mr. Iones' secretary. Two other members were added to the faculty this year. Mr. Christian, a former graduate of H-Burg, teaches mathematics and acts as sopho- more adviser. llc is also lunior Iligli assistant basketball coach and Senior lligh baseball coach, due to the resignation of Nlr. llarden, who formerly held that position. Nliss Klingel- hoeffer, who teaches English, is the other new member. The faculty has taken active part in noontime activities. Special credit goes to the faculty basketball team.
