Dedication J HROUGH their years of teaching at Mineola High School, Miss Cornelia Doedeyns, Miss Harriet Proaper, and Miss Ruth Smith have shown deep and lasting interest not only in their immediate duties as teachers, but also in every organization in which they have taken part. Everyone is acquainted with their friendly smiles and gracious man- ners, and recognizes their complete and generous loyalty in whatever they undertake. The senior classes are especially aware of the devotion of these teachers to their work. We realize and appreciate the tireless efforts of Miss Doedeyns, advisor of the June class and of Signet circulation; Miss Proaper, advisor of the January class and of Signet ad- vertising; and Miss Smith, advisor of the Signet editorial staff. Here it is, therefore, that we, the classes of 1945, pause to pay tribute to Miss Doedeyns, Miss Proaper, and Miss Smith — teachers, friends, and co-workers.

Admirals FROM the magic land of Persia Sinbad the Sailor one day made a detour and sailed into Mineola on his flying carpet. With a true nautical instinct he got his bearings and found himself be- fore a large building. He approached it won- dering what men were responsible for this mar- velous structure. Although Sinbad did not meet these men dur- ing his visit to Mineola High School, he was very conscious of the effect of their activity on the school. For in admirng the attractive school building and the well-kept grounds, Sinbad was commenting directly on the work of the Board of Education. Behind the machinery of any corporation, fac- tory, or school system, there must be that super- vising group which makes all the decisions. In Mineola High this function is executed by the Board of Education which has the final word per- taining to the administration of the entire school system. Their decisions directly affect the wel- fare and efficiency of faculty and students. These men work constantly and untiringly for the student body. They may be rewarded properly only by the students' maintenance of a high scholastic standard and by their who'ehearted participation in the high school activities — sports, dramatics, and music — for it is their purpose and desire to see Mineola come out on top. Board of Education: Mr. Patrick Walshe, Dr. Frank Barnes. Mr. William Hicks, Mr. Chester Painter Mr. William Lotz. i
