DEDICATION MR. MELVIN E. MILLER. Dean of Boys Mr. Mclvin E. Miller, Dean of Boys, has been chosen by us, the Seniors of 1947, as the Dedicatee of our yearbook. His able assistance has been sought by the Senior boys throughout their careers in high school, and especially as they look forward to college. Although his work has been primarily with the boys, his friendliness and helpful attitude have made him well liked by all. Those of us who have been his students in algebra classes realize that he excels as a teacher as well as a counselor. As advisor of the Congressional Club, he is untiring in his efforts to promote school activities, and he is always on hand at school functions, whether they be football games or dances. We are proud to dedi- cate our annual to Mr. Miller, Dean of Boys, and a real friend to us all.

- ... . ,, ,, . ,. ,, jQftewafid F c OR CENTURIES wise old men have said, on viewing the affairs of state and the conditions of the world, It is up to the next generation, the youth, to get us out of this mess. We, the young people of the Second World War era, have heard these words many times, and we are awed at the magnitude of the task ahead of us. It is up to us to bring about a civilized world, a lasting peace, and a non-atomic-bomb future. | T LOOKS like a tough problem, but there are many things to help us. We have books, magazines and articles; we have radio pro- grams, and forums; we have our own teenage clubs, and young peo- ple ' s church groups; most of all, we have had the advantage of educa- T lion in a progressive high school. I HIS IS OUR background. The future, for most of us, is college. There we will delve into the human mind, man ' s history, his progress, and his future. And let us study dili- gently, for in our hands, so the wise men tell us, lies the future of America. 7 W
