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.

TO THE SENIORS WILLIAM SLADE, Jr. Superintendent May I extend my very best wishes on the occasion of your graduation. It was just three years ago, when you started work at the High School, that I started work in Shaker Heights. How fast the time has gone. If I can estimate at all the world you are going into, it is one of very complex relationships — a world where it is most important that you be able to get along with people. This matter of effective relations with people is what I like to call The Fourth R in Education. You have been studying Read- ing, ' Riting and ' Rithmetic and I hope you have also learned much in our High School about The Fourth R. Our country needs, desperately, men and women skilled in establishing rapport (the French have a better word for it than we do) between labor and management, between government and management, in our foreign affairs and, most important, in the life of our American families. Your success and happiness and your contribution to society may depend very largely on what you learn about The Fourth R. We shall watch your successes with great pride. Please be sure of our interest and loyalty always. WILLIAM SLADE, JR. Superintendent
