THE PACEMAKER 1950 Message From the Principal He who would accomplish things must toughen his hide to criticism. Because some people laugh at us, while others doubt our sincerity, we cannot afford to stop trying. A great deal of criticism is prompted not by a desire to help, but by envy, dislike or some other unworthy motives. The criticism that is obviously well intended, and founded on intelligent under'- standing of our purposes, should be welcomed. Above all, we should never be afraid to attempt things because of the criticism we know will be leveled at us. It is better to fail than to quail. PROUD OF MCS! Greetings to Mr. Phillips who has been such an important person around MCS for the past Twenty-six years. We wish to pay him our respects and to honor him for such. long and efficient service. Clarence W. Phillips was born at Beech Hill, N. Y. 62 years ago. At the age of seven he began to work at making cheese in a milk plant. This position lasted 15 years. In 1924 he first obtained the position as janitor for Mayville High School. In Aug- ust, Mr, Phillips will celebrate his 26th year as janitor. For fourteen years he was attendance officer and is proud of the fact he never made an arrest and always had the child back in school. He talked boys that quit school into taking their problems to the principal, thus leading many on to a higher education. Among his responsibilities are: the caring for students after the teachers leave, general cleaning, carpentry, lectrical Work, general repair, and caring for fires and water pressure. In the summer time he takes care of the shrubbery and lawns. During the winter he estimates that the school uses about three hundred tons of coal a year, averaging three or four tons on a cold day. Under the direction of Mr. Phillips are: Mr. Robert Freay, Mr. Paul Freay and Miss Blanche Goodrich. Asked what he thought about Mayville Central as a whole, Mr, Phillips stated, t'The best in the U. S., and no trouble at all.

1 r 1950 THE PACEMAKER i i i l THE PACEMAKER STAFF The Pacemaker is an annual publication depicting the activities and lite at May- ville Central School. lt is published each year as a Senior Class proiect. During the past ten years we have seen many changes and improvements. The Pacemaker yearbook of 1940 had a total of about sixtyypdfges, nearly half of which were advertisements. Now the yearbook has approximately TOO pages. There are a great many more feature articles. Every activity of the school is mentioned, and each year they tend to increase. We have included more pictures in our yearbook than ever before. Scenes ot the cafeteria, library, homemaking, shop, and many more are visible tor all to see. Each year the Senior Class tries to improve and enlarge the yearbook and the present edition is evidence of that progress. lt is twice as large as it was ten years ago, and, all in all, shows a better job of representing Mayville Central School. We hope that it will continue to grow.
