Dear Mom, This is our yearbook. They have pretty fine yearbooks in this school, as you will see. I try to explain a little throughout the book. Since the pictures are a little different from ours, this may help you understand better. You know, this school is a lot different from ours back home and so are the kids. We all laugh together and it is nice and mutual. Girls are lovely and the boys are great fun. There are some here that are crazy in sports, some that are crazy in studying. And the teachers are crazy in teaching, that’s why I like them. They say that there is no school spirit in this school, but I don’t believe it at all. For I think that school spirit is co- operation and it is here the greatest I’ve seen. Now let’s go and see a little about those crazy kids and teachers on the pages that tell about the members of the faculty and student body and fine clubs and teams. So ... Longing yours, Immi ryi

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.
