ODG TO THG Ever upright on the campus green Like some stoic sentry of old, With aspect heightened by the year. With countenance both stern and bold, Stands the high school, the tangible symbol Of the knowledge that we reap, Which knowledge is of such a kind, That we can always keep. Here learning has thrived and continued. Deep within its hallowed halls, And the footsteps echo and re-echo, OF graduates passing outside its walls. Like some grand old patriarch. HIGH SCHOOL It has sheltered the laughter and tears, Of its family; the students, For lo, these many years. You may speak of the ruins of Athens, Of the grace and beauty of Greece, Who though they flourished long ago, Their glory still does not cease. So let it be with our high school, That in time many years hence, Manlius High shall have its place in the sun. And on Fame's shield make a few dents. - • • • 3iL C. Raabc (Deceased January 31, 1941) It is with a deep sense of reverence that the students of Manlius High School pay respect to the memory of a man who served, well, his community during a prolonged period. Mr. Uaabe held many responsible civic positions to each of which he gave the very best that he had to offer. Of a retiring nature, he never made a great show of his accomplishments; but those people in a position to evaluate achievement always appreciated his efforts and completed tasks. The student-body and faculty are appreciative of Mr. Raabe's services to Manlius Township High School. He served as a member or president of the local board from 1933 until his death. BOARD OF SDUCATIOn The members of the Board of Education are: Stacy Hewitt, Lloyd Van Ormer, Claude Barber, Charles Schmidt and Paul McMahon. The last man was elected in April —too late to have his picture printed. Too often, service on a board of education is shunned by capable persons. In view of the fact, however, that the American school is occupying an ever increasing position of importance in this great commonwealth, those men or women entrusted with its guidance and with the formulation of its policies are essential cogs in the development of our modern democracy. We are especially grateful to our present board of of education for they have accepted responsibility, graciously, and have executed their duties efficiently.
