zam 0m add ' Zena 7a 74a Seachfw The memories of your few short years in Miamisburg High School will be most pleasant ones for those of us who were privileged to be in daily contact with you. We will long remember the many good things you have done and the contributions you have made which will benefit those who follow you. lf there were some things not so pleasant, they have long since been forgotten. Your paths in the past four or five years have not been strewn with roses. The trials, tribulations, frustrations, and unpleasantries of those war years have had their effect on the training to which you were entitled. You were unfortunate in having to do many things not asked of your predeces- sors, in having too little continuity in your various courses and work due to a constantly changing instructional staff, and in being victims of an adult-created hysteria which is always typical of war years. You were, however, lmost of youl fortunate in not being actual participants in a silly war. You were all fortunate enough to be part of the only country in the world where educational opportunities still existed on a full-time scale. The thankfulness which should accompany such an envious opportunity certainly deserves only your best efforts and most honest and sincere contribu- tions in the years to come. ln all of the trying situations with which you have been faced you have carried your load well. By your cooperation and your calm acceptance of that which was not alway best or right, you have served as an inspiration and a motivating force to those of us who have tried to stick by you and do our best when so many deserted the schools and the going was alittle rough. What will you do with the burden placed on your shoulders by our bungling generation? Will you make the load he-avier for those who will follow you by iust trying to get by or will you do all in your power to lessen that load by assuming a full share of the responsibility which is yours to accept or reiect? Will you train yourself to whatever extent necessary to do the best job possible in your chosen line of work-regardless of pay? Will you keep your chin up and tackle any iob which comes your way with a smile and a determination which will not recognize defeat? Will you resolve to make some contribution to your community, state, or nation-whatever may be yours to give-and carry out that resolution? Will you always be willing to give of your time so that others may benefit-and do it for free? Will you use all the influence that is yours to exert to the end that future generations may live in a better, more unselfish, and definitely a more peaceful world? lf you can answer yes to all of these, then the trust and burden that is now yours is right- fully placed and you are worthy of the opportunity-the challenge. Only by the contributions of each succeeding generation can progress be achieved and main- tained. lt is forward or backward. There is no compromise. FRANKLIN M. YOUNG January 28, i947 Compliments of MARY ANN SHOP -6...

We, the class of forty-seven, wish this Mirus to serve as a picture story of another year at Miamsburg High School. We hope that this edition of our annual represents satisfactorily the events which have made our school a better one. We also hope that this Mirus records the valued memories of this school year in the years to come. ,I We, the Mirus Staff, extend best wishes, and good luck to all the classes that follow us. Throughout our annual book Angie the Angel is used as our theme. Angie was our little guardian angel throughout our school years. When we are in need of help, or when we are in trouble, our little guiding star, Angie, is Johnny on the spot. We have no reward for our little angel. All we can offer is our sincerest thanks.
