And School Has Begun To Mr. Irving H. Seabury, the staff dedicates the 1949 SCOPE in acknowledgment of his faithful service to youth. Long ago this man who had resolved to serve young people realized that his greatest assistance lay in furthering their educational facilities. To work actively for this ideal, Mr. Seabury accepted the position of trustee of a district school in the town of Galway and later became a member of the board of education at Ballston Lake. Upon his arrival in Gasport his experience and interest in education were soon made manifest and he was elected to the board there. When centralization was suggested, Mr. Seabury, aware of its many advantages, championed the cause. Knowledge gained previously at Ballston Lake, one of the earliest central school district, served him well so that other of the projects leaders relied upon him for counsel. Naturally Mr. Seabury was a logical choice for the newly formed BI-ICS board. Election to this position in 1944 enabled him to become the first member to complete a full five year term. For about twenty years, then, Mr. Seabury has given of himself - his time - his energy - for young people. Because of his untiring, unceasing efforts on their behalf, RI-ICS students owe him a debt they can never repay. As a small gesture, however, to show their awareness to and appreciation of his accomplishments for them, the staff dedi- cates this annual to Irving H. Seabury, a friend of youth. 7
