Tribute To F. R. Harris GIVEN AT THE P. T. A. TESTIMONIAI. DINNER This is an occasion on which it seems rather difficult to stand here, not only to thank, but to pay tribute to a man so worthy and deserving as Mr. Harris. He has been to our class as every father is to his son. He has helped and guided us through our schooling. As an ideal he has served as an inspiration to every member of my class. Along with all this we mustn't forget our troubles. Our class has a great weakness for trouble, but with a capable man like Mr. Harris to solve our problems we knew no trouble. It is beyond reckoning as to what we really owe him. As we depart from McClain high school to go into the world we will carry not only the memory of Mr. Harris as a part of Greenfield schools, but more valued than that will be his advice to us. Advice that has helped us in our schooling. Advice that will continue to help us and become a part of our lives. Advice, I am sure, that will live on at McClain after Mr. Harris has gone. The class of 1939 feels highly honored that they are privileged to be the graduating class of Mr. Harris' final year as Superintendent of Greenfield Schools. And now, in behalf of my class, I salute you, Mr. Harris, in acknowledg- ing the termination of a record both grand and glorious, a record any man would be more than proud to possess. and I bestow upon you our fondest hopes and best wishes for health, wealth, and happiness. FRANKLIN BARRETT President, Class of ,39 With the words of our president we dedicate this volume of the Dragon to our superintendent, our adviser, F. R. Harris.

Hail McClain Let's sing anew our praise of high school And let our pledge afar be told. Others may like black or crimson, Purple give us and the gold. Let all our troubles be forgotten Let a loyal spirit rule, We'll join with might and main the chorus To the praise of our dear school. CHORUS McClain High School, McClain High School The pride of every Greenfield youth, A school of beauty with watchword duty, She stands for honesty and truth, In contests glorious, always victorious, No matter what opponents say, We think there's none to fear, We know no peer, So, Hail McClain High School, Hail! Our high school stands unique in history The products of a donor's love And we'1l ever sing his praises Our gratitude and pride to prove And let us strive to live our motto. With loyal hearts and truef' We'll aim to use the living present For the good that we can do. CHORUS
