aclmlnlstration WILLIAM J. SMALL At no time has the future for American youth seemed so bright. We have been able to raise our standards of living for beyond those of any other country. Through recognition of individual rights we have learned to live and work together to a de- gree ot co-operative effort never before attained. We must not only cherish these privileges but we must also make every effort to preserve them. We must strive for greater understanding of the com- plex problems that lie ahead. We cannot hope to enjoy the privileges of American citizenship with- out actively and earnestly assuming its obligations. I have faith that you will do as well or even better than your predecessors. WILLIAM J. SMALL Supt. JAMES H. ERWIN First ot all, may l congratulate the Class of 1949 upon completion of their secondary school work. l hope that most of you will realize that, while a big part of your education has been completed, there is still much to learn and solve. You are entering the period of world atfairs where the problems are not only national but they must take in the whole world. That intensifies our responsibilities of learning what all the people in all the world must have to keep the world in a peaceful and success- ful position. JAMES H. ERWIN Dept.

'5i' T0 MEMBERS OF THE NIAGARIAN STAFF AND THE SENIOR CLASS ln CI recent issue of o current magazine there was an article about the rapid rise of a young scientist. During the war he was drafted to help develop the atomic bomb. He witnessed the explosion of the first one. He declared this terrible example of destruction and power had left him a legacy of concern. His concern should follow only one path, ...that of helping to harness this great force for the good of all mankind. That same problem will face the young people of our high schools who will be graduated in the next few years. The challenge is clear. May the members of this class feel a great con- cern in helping to make constructive plans for the use of this force. Our best wishes ga with you. CLARK J. FEET T0 THE NIAGARIAN STAFF AND THE CLASS OF 1949 The theme for your yearbook indicates that you are aware of the responsibilities of living in an Atomic Age. One of your most important responsi- bilities in this new age will be that of helping to maintain a peaceful world, for without a peaceful world not much else will matter. Sooner than you expect, you will have the task of solving the great problems confronting your country and the world. We hope that the training which you have received, and the character which you have developed during your high school days will help yau to meet the challenge of the future. As you leave your Alma Mater our best wishes go with you. ' WILLIAM F. JACK WILLIAM F. JACK Vice-Principal administration o
