Dedication ,x, M R. ROTTINGHAUS We dedicate this. book to Joseph Rottinghaus, whose interest in the schools of North College Hill has persisted for more than thirty years. NIr. Rottinghaus, who is officially the attendance officer for the school disttict, became inter- ested in the welfare of our school from the time he heczlme A resident of this community. From 1916 to 1922 he served on the Board of Education and, 215 :L member of this body, secured the site for the Goodman Avenue school.

ADMINISTRATION Many yearbook messages from school heads could be repeated for ten years without change if the man himself changed schools annually. The bouquets they toss are well deserved, I grant you, but highly monotonous t0 the writers. Speaking briefly, I am glad that in these times of government priorities and ceiling prices our graduates are to have an annual to keep fresh their recollection of happy days. Despite added costs, the management for 1944-45 is trying to cut the cost to subscribers lower than last year, and still to represmt all activities of the school. h'Iay this yearbook therefore full Within the fie nancial reach of every home, prized and possessed by all. And may the thought and labor of 50 many pupils enter into the final product that each possessor can Claim it as an annual 0f the pupils rather than the work of the faculty: Wm. A. Cook At the end of this school year thousands of young people like yourselves will graduate from high schools throughout the country. All of you will stand at the threshold of a new world and this year a llnew world is used literally. Not only will it mean new individual adjustments but adjustments for our whole society. New social trends, highly improved methods in manufacturA ing and new developments in those objects de- signed to make our world more livable will cause Changes in our environment, The tremors re- sulting from the after shock of the tragedy that is at present shaking our world will call for the best minds, bodies, and souls this world has ever known to bring it to a restful peace. You are the folks who must furnish the wherewithal to bring about :1 brotherhood of man and a better would to live in. E. V. Thesken MR. THESKEN AND DR. COOK hsh
