i l M. S. HERSHEY S A business executive Mr. Hershey ranks near the top of the list, but we who have lived under his generosity look to him as a true father. He took us in our early years, fed us, clothed us,. and watched over our growth. Of greatest importance among the many things he has done for us is our schooling. He has educated us to go forth into a world of war or peace to work like men who are fully prepared to stand the test of life. ' ' Knowing that our time of departure from our Alma Mater draws near, we find it hard tosay in words how warmly We feel about Mr. Hershey and how appreciative we are of his efforts in our behalf. We sincerely hope that we, like many other alumni of this school, whether soldiers in uniform or soldiers of production, may be so successful as to refiect Credit upon H. I, S, and upon Mr. M. ,S. Hershey-its founder and our foster father.

WE DEDIDATE WE, THE Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-four, in rec- ognition of his duties performed for our benefit, do hereby dedicate this Acropolis to Mr. James E. Bobb, the assistant super- visor of the farms. Born in nearby Mechanicsburg, Mr. Bobb moved to Harrisburg when still very young. In 1918 he again moved, this time to Her- shey. He attended and Was graduated from Hershey High School. After graduation he attended the Wharton School of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania for three years. After completing his Work there, Mr. Bobb Was employed by the Hershey Chocolate Corpora- tion. In 1930 he was transferred to the Hershey Estates, and short- ly thereafter he assumed his present position, that of being assist- ant to Mr. P. N. Hershey, in addition to his duties of caring for the boys on the farm homes. Since he started in his present capacity, he has seen the number of farms grow from thirty-two to seventy- two, which now cover an area of about 10,000 acres. Although his duties are sometimes of an unpleasant nature, Mr. Bobb has always given each of us a square deal. Known to his friends and associates as plain Jim, he has performed his duties fairly and sympathetically. To him go our sincere thanks and appreciation for the fine cooperation given to us during our years of close association.
