Dedication HE Junior class takes pleasure in dedicating the 1940 Totem to Sewanhaka High School on her tenth anniversary. T o those who have been with Sewanhaka since its beginning, it must have seemed a very short period. Our school has lived up to the old adage of improving with age. Sewan- haka itself, the library, our athletic equipment, and an enlarged curriculum are only a few of the many transformations seen at Sewanhaka within the past ten years. May Sewanhaka move onward to further success and worthwhile achievement.

,am YEARS you more informal pictures of the students at Work and play. Due to the large senior class the limited space, unfortunately, has not permitted an adequate treatment of their school achievements. YVe hope that as the parting gift to the Senior Class, the Totem will ever serve as a memory of pleasant hours spent at Se- Wanhaka. The junior Class gives you the tenth year book of Sewanhaka High School with the sincere hope that it will meet with your approval. If in the future this Totem will recall the ideals of Sewanhaka and act as an inspiration to greater things, We will indeed have achieved our purpose.

STANFORTHS extensive and varied ex! perience as an educator naturally has helped to mold his philosophy of education, which today is the keystone of Sewanhaka. This philosophy put into words states: En- courage students to assume as much direction over their own lives as possible. A portion of the pledge taken at commencement by the Seniors, expresses the desire for morally strong citizens of the future: ln keeping with the teachings of Sewanhaka, may I throughout life be tolerant of the faults of others-and become an efhcient citizen in my community, state and nation!
