.xgolminid fra fion DR. ALVA T. STANFORTH MR. HAROLD WRIGHT Primijzal Axsixfanf Principal WE uo NOT wish to preach or be sentimental, but it seems appropriate here to express our appreciation. It is typical of hu- mans to take a great deal for granted. Helen Keller in her Three Days to See, feels we should use our sight today as if blindness were to come t0mOrr0W. Too often, however, we enjoy the blessings showered on us, without question. Less than five years ago Sewanhaka had about twelve hundred students, no aeronautics, auto mechanics, metal, electricity and various other courses. Today the enrollment is over two thousand and all the subjects mentioned are open to students. The public, Board of Education and the vision of our Principal have now made them available. Five years ago students did not have the opportunities offered us today. It took weeks and months of planning, huge sums of money and the efforts and cooperation of many people to make this possible. All that is asked in return is that we make the most of these facilities. Here is a message from Dr. A. T. Stanforth: I am pleased to extend greetings to all readers of the 1939 Totem. This pub- lication, sponsored by the junior Class, contains a record of many school activities and at the same time measures in some respects the growth and development of your school. Students of today will find considerable pleasure in reading this book, but added enjoyment will come from its perusal in the years ahead when school days are no more. It is a valuable addition to your storehouse of memories. I wish to congratulate the Junior Class for their work in producing this excellent volume. 9 MR. CHARLES COOPER Dean of Boys MRS. Lucy GARBADE Dean of Girls
