XVe, the senior class of 1954, salute you, Miss Telban. XVe lnnnbly dedicate this animal to you in appreciation of your guidance and friendship to us. VVe often disliked the homework you assigned and your insis- tence that it be done right and on time. Now We understand your purpose, and we are grateful. XVe know that we would never have grown in skill and knowledge if you had not done this. You had a way of getting things across to us little cherubsf' XVe shall never forget those times when we were involved in some bookkeeping principle, nor the time we made such silly errors in shorthand transcription. uMy goodness, you peoplelv you would always say. You acted angry, but we could see the smile trying to peep out at the corners of your mouth and the twinkle in your eyes. Then you would start to explain, not just once, but until we all understood. Patience like yours is hard to match. Instead of exploding, you laughed, and we laughed with you. It was truly marvelous the problems you could think up to illus- trate a case, contract, or principle. Those stories you dictated in short- hand class were unique. The only trouble was that you seldom had time to finish them because the bell always rang first. Time flew in your classesl Thank Vou, Xliss Telban, for being the wonderful teacher and friend that you were, and still are, to us. G

Mr. Clifford Handel, Presidentg Mr. Srunuel I. Engott, Viee-Presidentg Mr. Michael Panaride, Secretary. jchrwlboalwi Very few of the general public are aware of five men who meet every month at the high school. This group is our school board, composed of Mr. Handel, Mr. Engott, Mr. Panaride, Mr. Dalrymple, and Mr. Roadway. who are elected for a term of six years by the people of Snowden Township. On their shoulders lies the great responsibility of our three schoolsg the hiring and firing of teachers and janitorial staff, raising and lowering of wages, making out yearly budgets, dividing funds for activities and expenses, and the receiving and giving out of sealed bids for repairs. They decide upon the school policies, and this is then carried out by the administrator. Their meetings are all open to anyone who is interested in attending, thereby present- ing an opportunity to see the board in action and find out how the school is being operated. They are without a doubt an im- portant factor in our democratic school system. Mr. Iohn 1. Bruce, Tax Colleetorg Mr. VValter Dalryinpleg Mr. Albert Roadwayg Mr. Frank Reich, Solicitor 8
