Ifl iorrisville • 1940 We, the Class of 1940, wish to express to the faculty our deepest gratitude for all the effort and patience they have spent in giving us our high school train- ing. Although each year we had to accustom ourselves to new individuals, we feel that we have gained much help and experience from them. We feel they did a good job in teaching us the basic subjects; but a greater job still in the examples they set for us to follow in sportsmanship, citizenship, fellowship, and friendship. To illustrate this point, it is our privilege to mention a few of the activities our faculty has taken part in. In regard to their sports- manship the men’s faculty formed a basketball team, and later in the year both the men and the women of our faculty played a basketball game with the Junior Class to enable them to secure money for additional pictures in the year book. Faculty members have also taken an important part in dramatic productions and in the Community Chorus. We have always found them willing to serve on any committee or in any capacity they could. We are especially grateful to those teachers who help us plan cur Class Night and Commencement programs. They will be remembered for a long time. So, as we the Class of 1940, sail out of Morrisville High School, on the vast Ship of the Future,’’ we will always remember our Captains and Ship- mates,” the Faculty of M. H. S.

ni KoU m orris Messrs. Caum. Reiter and Schwinger. PRINCIPALS Through the combined efforts of these men, Mr. Reiter, Mr. Caum, and Mr. Schwinger, our education and school life has been made possible. Mr. Reiter has been our Supervising Principal for eleven years. During this time there have been numerous changes for the better in our school life. Perhaps the greatest of these is the construction of our new Athletic Field. Mr. Caum was appointed Principal in 1932, and since then has been an advisor and friend to hundreds of students. His help on the organization of our Yearbook, and the annual Washington trip was invaluable and greatly appre- ciated by the Class of 1940. Mr. Schwinger joined the ranks of principalship this year when he became Assistant to Mr. Caum. It has been his duty to take care of the absences and tardiness. In February of this year, Mr. Schwinger introduced a new method of excuses for absence. While Mr. Caum was in Washington with the Seniors, Mr. Schwinger filled his office. The Class of ’40 leaves Morrisville High School with a feeling of respect and honor for these three men.
