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.

A ULTY IT IS to the faculty that we are indebted for many of our accom- plishments and for much of our growth. At times when the going was difficult and we ran into trouble, it was they who often gave us an aiding hand. Not only did they help us with our regular school work, but in many instances they put forth their best efforts to guide us in our personal, nonescholastic problems. This year in particular we are better able to realize the good work that our faculty has been doing. Our graduates have always set a commendable record of achievement in after-school life, but during these war years we can see even better the results of our teachers' efforts. More than 700 of our alumni are in the Armed Forces, and the great majority have done very well. Our Service Honor Roll includes a remarkably high percentage of oflicers and non-commissioned ratings. Our graduates seem to be able to adapt themselves to praiseworthy efforts in peace or war, and we mem- bers-of the Class of 1944 know that much of this success is the result of the instruction and guidance of our teachers. As time goes by new faces will join the faculty to replace the old ones, but we will never forget those who guided us along the right path to happiness. Their smiling faces will always remain in our memories, and we will remember them not just as teachers, but as our friends. Not on pictrure- Charles E. Dahl, Arlene R. Long, and Dorothy W.
