BIEHN, A.B., M.A., Ph.D. Superintendent-Principal To serve youth is man ' s great priv¬ ilege, second only to the privilege of serving his Creator and his country; to serve the boys and girls of Niles Town¬ ship is no exception. Each student at N.T.H.S. has been an inspiration or a challenge. Your varied interests, per¬ sonalities, and aptitudes would tax the imagination of even those who would pose as having an understanding of youth. Such is a wholesome condition and I commend you for it. Our school is evidence of the interest that the citizens of this community have in you. Through their sacrifices and the efforts of the Board of Education you have been provided with a high school which is equal to the best in the country, and you have shown by your actions that you are grateful to them. This has not been an ordinary year. We could not, even if we had desired, have carried on as usual. In our effort to adapt the program at N.T.H.S, to the interests, needs, and abilities of the in¬ dividuals, and to the needs of the na¬ tion, we sought to make your experi¬ ences here worthwhile. If we have suc¬ ceeded, our efforts will be rewarded by the kind of citizens that will be so des¬ perately needed in the reconstruction period to follow the present world struggle. I am as thoroughly convinced that the youth of today will win the post-war struggle as I am that the youth of yesterday will win the war itself. With healthy bodies, sound minds, and divine guidance we shall not fail. A. L. Biehn Superintendent j 5

These depart¬ ment chairmen, holding regular meetings with Dr. Biehn, plan, organize, and direct our teaching program. It is in a large measure due to their efforts that the program of Niles is not only educa¬ tional but also interesting. Their job is a hard and- thankless one requiring much time and thought. Louise Myers Most of their work is done outside of regular school hours. But, after a glance around the school, we readily see that their work has not been done in vain. Because of their increasing efforts, Niles Township is one of the most progressive schools in the state. They correlate the class activities so that the students derive the greatest possible bene¬ fits from their studies during their school career, and are prepared to assume successfully the role of good Americans. To these teachers we wish to extend a very special thank you. ADELAIDE BERRY — A.B., A.M., Diplcme. Engl ' sh. French. MARIE GREEN — A.B., M A. Bookkeeping. Business Trailing. Typewriting.
