Professor Carl R. Koch, Supervising Principal of the Orwigsburg Public Schools, came to us in the year 1943. In this short period of tiine, we have already felt the ini- press of his dynamic personality. Many new channels of interests and opportunities have been afforded to us through his efforts. He has made possible various clubs and niany extra curricular activities. We have come to look forward to his encouragenient and guidance. lle has aided materially and spiritually, in the advancement of our schools. llis fine sense of sportsmanship, and his apprecia- tion of the finer things of life have been definite forces in the molding of our characters. His splendid ac- coniplishinents and exemplary character are indeed the criterion by which we shall pudge our future achievements. It is with sincere appreciation and affection that we dedicate this yearbook to Professor Carl Koch. 6

MEMBERS 014' THE CLASS Old' 1944 We believe. as did Diogenes, that the foundation of every state is the education of its youth. As students of this school you have enjoyed the stimulus of that touch of inind upon mind, which, with the right re- sponse, enlarges personality and lifts to higher levels of thought and ac- tion. You have had the privilege of becoming acquainted with your fine social heritage-a heritage of liberty and law, of science and art, of language and literature, of niorals and religion. One more thread is added to the warp, and we pause only to begin wider fields of accom- plishment. For all of us a great task lies ahead-A task that demands us to take increased devotion to that cause for which Anierican nien and boys everywhere are giving their last full nieasure of devotion. You have been taught the value of knowledge, adequate preparation, a trained mind, a healthy body, nioral character, and a perseverance that triuniphs over difficulties. We are assured that in this great crisis now before us, you will be found faithful and equal to the occasion. My associations with you as teacher and principal have culininated in an inspiring and cherished friendship. lt can best be expressed by these lines which I wish to share wtl1 you: Itls the huinan touch in this world that counts, The touch of your hand and niine, That means far niore to the fainting heart Than shelter or bread or wine. For shelter is gone when the night is o 'er And bread lasts only a day But the touch of a hand and the sound of a voice Sing on in the soul alway.
