 RAY I BERT” Wt Btdicatc. . . We, the seniors of Reeds burg High School, Class of 1949, do solemnly dedicate this, our Gleaner, to the memories of Raymond Friede and Roberta Phillips. Ray, a member of the band, the track team, and the football squad, was highly respected by everyone. Roberta came to us this year from Lime Ridge and made many friends with her pep and sunny disposition. The memories of these two members of our class will be cherished by all who knew them. We hope that this humble work can, in some way, convey our gratitude for having had the honor and privilege of knowing them. 3

Jforctoord . . . I ns pi rut ion fails us and to our rescue does appear The immortal bard of ages past, the great renowned Shakespeare. In fancy, ti e become his guide and lead him through our halls; How odd, how different are our classes from those which he recalls. We explain to him in answer to the questions which he asks Of our classes, of our meetings, our activities, and our tasks. Throughout he adds a colour, a vernacular of days Sone by, And as we end our journey, we s-iy a sad goodbye. 2

Mr. Jlormington... First, Mr. Shakespeare, we should like to present a very good friend, Mr. Normington. He is our superintendent, ( head-master” to you), our counselor, friend and leader. He is never too busy to find time to lend a helping hand to us when we need it, and we are truly grateful. Here is his annual farewell letter to the seniors: Dear Seniors, This has been a busy and exciting year, one that you will never forget. You have enjoyed some outstanding triumphs and have tasted sorrow and defeat. In so doing you have experienced life. As you leave R. H. S. I hope that you carry with you the knowledge that genius is only the bower of making continuous effort. That the line between success and failure is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it, and that many times just a little more effort is the difference between hopeless failure and glorious success. MR. NORMINGTON Sincerely, JBoard ©f Education T. J. Merkel, O. V. Pawlisch, W. Reines, R. T. Normington, L. C. Fuchs, Mrs. H. B. Quimby, W. Hickey, W. R. Gant. 4
