DEDICATION Miss Elizabeth J. Schurr It was a wise man who once said, A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” Indeed, Hornell Senior High School has been privileged to have on its faculty a teacher whom we believe has influenced to an immeasurable extent the life and even destiny of every high school student in her classroom. Even though the subject which she teaches may be termed a difficult one, she has made learning an extremely satisfying and rewarding experience. Yet, she has taught us much more than the facts which can be found in books. Most important of all she has wisely guided us along the path to adulthood — she has helped us to become mature individuals. She has developed in us a strong and prevailing sense of responsibility and an awareness of the world around us. She has helped us to realize that only by hard and honest work will we ever succeed in anything we do. Through her quick wit and sense of humor, she has revealed her truly admirable personality to us and, thus, we have respected her more. Because her sincere interest in her students and their welfare becomes evident in everything she says and does, we have found in her the incentive to work and study to our potential and to live up to the high standards which she sets for us. Thus, we, the students of Hornell Senior High School, feel that the best way to express our deep and sincere gratitude is to dedicate the 1966 Maple Leaf to Miss Elizabeth J. Schurr.

In Appreciation The primary function of a yearbook is to be a representative of student opinion. If the 1966 Maple Leaf is to fulfill this requirement, it could not be complete without an expression of deepest appreciation and gratitude to Mrs. Elaine Hritz for her devotion to the students of H.H.S. As a result of her tireless efforts, students in her English and French classes have received a thorough and valuable knowledge of these sub- jects. She has given these students a chance to look at the world through adult eyes, and thus they have been so much better prepared for the adult world, which awaits them upon graduation. She has stimulated their interest in the subject of study and has presented work which offers a challenge to them. Finally, in her teaching meth- ods, she has encouraged individuality and the de- velopment of a truly unique personality. Because of her rich contribution to Hornell High School, the Maple Leaf speaks for all students, past and present, in conveying an inadequate but sincere thank-you to Mrs. Hritz and in wishing her a rewarding and successful future upon her retire- ment. Mrs. Elaine Hritz Senior Class Advisors The senior year is indubitably the busiest and most exciting for students. The senior class advisors have devoted their time and efforts to making this year a memorable one for the class of ’66, and under their guidance the senior class has presented a successful senior play and senior ball. The Maple Leaf takes this time to thank these four people who have worked so diligently to help the senior class. Front: Mrs. Fennelly, Mrs. Hritz. Back: Mrs. Carney, Mr Koehler. 5
