I Foreword Thirty-two years ago the class of 1913 composed and published the first TATTLER. This year, in keep- ing with this long-established tradition, the class of 1944 proudly presents our version of the TATTLER. ln browsing through its pages you will find pictures of every person in school, a feature not often found in a pubication of this type. A photo-record of the years's activities, many candid snapshots, and car- toons of our faculty add life to its pages. A page of portraits of boys, recently in the halls of Niles High, now in the service of their country, recalls a sub- ject which is foremost in our minds today-the War. Evidences of this great struggle can be seen on all sides in Niles High. The stepped up physical- fitness program is aimed at preparing the boys for the rigors of military life. Courses in radio, radio tech, and aeronautics have a direct bearing on future careers in the army and navy. Therefore, this year's publication is not lust another TATTLERQ it is a permanent record of Niles High all out for victory. r Table of Contents Dedication ................ .... ..................i...... .-.. 5 Board of Education ......

DEDICATION We, the class of l944, proudly dedicate our Tattler to Mr. Ralph S. Lehman. Mr. Lehman is a graduate ot the University of Michigan, where he received his A. B. and M, A. degrees. A member of the faculty tor ten years, Mr. Lehman taught typing until two years ago when he took over the Physics Department and has since added courses in aeronautics, radio code, and radio tech, which will be of great value to those boys who are going into service. Mr. Lehman is a man of many interests. He installed our Public Address system throughout the school, in the auditorium, and in both gyms. He is responsible for the upkeep and running of this system. At every auditorium program, play, gym show, variety show, and other school func- tions, and even at football games he is Iohnny on the spot to handle the working of the system. for many years he has taken special pictures tor the Tuttler including those on the Whos Who pages. His pleasing personality and dry sense of humor have won him the respect and admiration of everyone who knows him. Heading clockwise in the pictures above, encircling the central portrait, we show him teach- ing classes in Radio Tech, Physics, and Aeronautics, making hay while the sun shines on his farm west of Niles and working his way to school tnot through school? after a heavy snow-tall. ln the triangular insert he shows his versatility by shingling the root of his garage. Next is an example of his skill as a photographer which graced a previous Tattler and in the last picture he records vital statistics on the hobby nearest his heart, his tive-year-old daughter, Saraiane. page four
