The death of Dr. Albert L. Biehn, Saturday evening, April 28, 1951, leaves each of us with a sense of loss so personal that words and phrases fail us, and we dwell alone with our thoughts and emotions. We can , however, speak clearly of him as we knew him: as a strong leader, as a wise counselor, and as a staunch friend. We were fortunate to have had Dr. Biehn with us many years. His influence was deep, and it will remain ivith us, a vital and rich inheritance. That influence will guide us and support us as though by his living hand, mind and heart. Let our tribute to Dr. Biehn be that we observe steadily and with a clear eye the many guideposts for out welfare that he erected during the years of service he devoted to Niles Town¬ ship High School. Because the above words read over the public-address system by Mr. Harold O hi son, Monday morning, April 30, express so well the feelings of the Re¬ flections staff, we repeat them here. Dr. Biehn came to Niles Township High School in the summer of 1942 after serving as principal of the high school in Fairbury, Nebraska, for six years. Previous to his principal ship he was athletic coach and teacher of his¬ tory and p hysical education. Dr. Biehn always had a keen interest in athletics and an active concern for the spirit of good sportsmanship in all human endeavor. In deep appreciation of Dr. Biehn ' s constant devotion to the ideals of friend¬ ship, tolerance , humility, and worthy achievement and of his long service to the • welfare of Niles Township High School, we dedicate this book . .
