,bedication . . . THE class of '49 Wish to dedicate their Tom Tom to one of the finest examples of the teaching profession, Mrs. Nichols. lt has always been the custom to dedicate this book to some- one who has done something out- standing for the school or the class. Who can add more to the prestige of a school or give more help to a 'Ir 4 ELSIE A. NICHOLS class than a teacher with her ability? She has made her classes an experi- ence worth sharing. Each of her pu- pils has considered himself fortu- nate indeed to have studied under her. This Tom Tom We dedicate to a real teacher and a friend of the stu- dents, Mrs. Nichols.

yn .!4'tel1'l0l'y of IAMES CLARK DR. KENNEDY F. RUBERT AST summer, one of the outstanding mem- bers of our class was taken from us. james Clark did not live to enjoy this last high school year. Do you remember jimmy? He was in- terested and active in school affairs. When we were only fifth graders he edited a little newspaper, giving vent to a journalistic trait. ln high school his articles appeared in the Tomahawk, Tom Tom, and one won a prize in the Scholastic Contest. The Sea Scouts was an organization in which he was especially interested. Perhaps his interest was influenced by his desire to go to Annapolis and become a naval officer. We cannot understand why a boy who so fully used his life had to lose it. Yet, it is not ours to questionp a far wiser hand shaped his destiny. N November 7, l948 Dr. Kennedy Fur- long Hubert passed away after a long ill- ness. With his passing the students of the Owego Free Academy lost a friend as well as physician. Whether we had a broken arm or a cut finger we could rely on com- forting words of advice from him. Dr. Hubert left a distinguished record be- hind him. He graduated from the Owego Free Academy at the age of fifteen and be- carne a member of Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year at Cornell. Except for a brief time during World War l when he served as a major in the army he had faithfully doctored the ills of Owegoans from l902 until shortly before his death. The students of the Owego Free Acad- emy, whom he served faithfully for twenty- five years, will always honor the memory of Dr. Kennedy F. Hubert.
