THE ELEMENTARY FACULTY As we leave Horace Greeley High, we look back upon our Grade School days and wonder how the patient teachers ever put up with us. If it weren't for these helpful teachers, an important part of our education would have been lost. It was in those grades we learned to write, count, draw, spell, and live together as a group. We owe a large tribute to these understanding teachers who helped us take our first steps in the field of education.

'THE QUAKER' 1950 Except for its informal aspect, this picture of the yearbook staff heads does not tell the story. No picture can recapture Monty's vain attempts to make himself heard, the frenzied search of Nancy and Sally for a theme, or Ada's tireless collection of every teacher's name and degree. Nor can it show the joyous last-minute avalanche of advertising from jimmy, or Lee's high-pressure promotion of the book to the stud- ents. Barbara's steady plugging on typewritten copy and Lynn's rather breathless accounting is not shown and, all in all, the picture depicts a calm repose, especially on the face of Miss Murphy, that it is difficult for us who produced this book to recognize. The staff will remember the work on THE QUAKER of 1950 as a highly disorganized, very confusing and most enjoyable session. We extend our most hearty appreciation and thanks to the printer, whose patient understanding on missed deadlines and general amateurishness was so helpful. 10
