,-f 's f i-. . g , W-g We bedicate . . . A generation of students has passed through this school, mindful of your importance, grateful for your council. And now you are leaving, even as they have left. You have asked no reward but to guide the stubborn wayward young feet upon the path of Knowledge, and the young plastic minds in the light of Truth. Look to the students of yesterday, the citizens of to-day, who have learned, under your guidance, to walk confidently through the corridors of life. Herein lies the recompense of your life's work. They thank you, We thank you. Because you have given to your work a life-time of devotion and words of understanding, We humbly dedicate this, the year book of 1947 to you, Miss Viola Simpson, and to you, Miss Melinda Detwiler.

The superintendent, who is commissioned by the state, is responsible for carrying out the policies of the Board of Education and for admin- istering the affairs of the schools. These men know how important a task it is to prepare the next generation for productive and intelligent citizenship. They know that the safety and growth of our nation, and the welfare of all na- tions, is dependent upon the character and en- lightenment of the coming generation. The pictures on this page tell but a little of the story of the administration of school affairs in the high school.
