THE SCHOOL BOARD These are the men that hold the purse strings, and very generous have they been. In providing us with books and equipment for our extra-curricular activ- ities we have found them always willing to cooperate and glad to help us. A fact, probably well-known, but often not fully appreciated, is that these men serve not only without salary, but even at their own expense. It is their contribution to public service and the well-being of the community. We wish to express to them our appreciation for all they have done for Mcrrisville High School through the years and especially for the Athletic Field, which they have made a realized dream during our time here.

M-otth E. LEONARD CAUM THE PRINCIPAL Mr. Caum, a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College and Columbia University, came to the principalship of Morrisville High School through the ranks.” He was a teacher here for five years before being appointed Principal in 1933. Because of this experience, Mr. Caum has a more penetrating understanding of our problems and a more vital interest in them. His approach to all our prob- lems is that of a teacher, administrator and friend. His interests are wide and varied. Besides being an expert and enthusiastic amateur photographer himself, he has helped to train ethers in this very enjoyable pastime. His help in the Senior High Camera Club has been much appreciated. Drama is another of Mr. Caum’s specialties. He has always been active in the dramatics of Morrisville High School, and is a charter member of the Little Theatre group started last year. As a planner of trips and manager of excursions he is tops.” His help on the planning of the Washington trip and his presence in Washington added much to the pleasure and profit which the class derived from it. It is to Mr. Caum that most of our difficulties and troubles are taken. He is always willing to advise and help any student who comes to him. Beth as Prin- cipal and counselor, we honor him and wish to express our sincere gratitude for the help he has given us throughout our High School course.

THE GUIDING INFLUENCE We, the Class of ’39, wish in parting to express to the faculty our sincere appreciation for their efforts in behalf of our education. Though there have been a few changes in personnel since we met the High School faculty, we have known them always as a group of competent individuals—always ready to lend a hand over hard places. Our faculty has been large enough to be efficient. There are twenty-two members on the combined Senior and Junior High faculties. It has been small enough to permit us to become personally acquainted with them all during our six years here. The individual members have been different enough to make life interesting and to keep us from getting bored. They have been competent teachers of subject matter, helping us prepare the scholastic foundation cf our after-school life. Their greatest contribution, however, has been—net in their teaching of English and History and Science—but in the building of character, love of truth, honesty, loyalty, the requisites of a good citizen. So, with genuine regret at parting and sincere gratitude for what they have meant in our school life, we say, good bye,” to the faculty of Morrisville High.
