TRIBUTE TO TEACHERS In the years that lie ahead we will often think back to our days in high school. Long hence we will remember incidents and faces, personalities as well as characters. Yet, through the years, more of Souderton High will remain with us than pleasant memories. The goals and methods, ideals, and ways of living, typical to America, have all been imparted to us by direct teaching and by example. Surely we can agree that the Faculty of S. H. S., by its patient efforts, has left us with a broad picture of American life, waiting to be utilized in the realization of a better and brighter world of tomorrow. Now we are leaving, and as we go we are filled with mixed feelings of regret and of anticipation. As the door closes behind us, we realize the time has come for parting-from each other and from our teachers. On this and the following pages are pictures of our Faculty. We cannot too fully express our gratitude to them for their sympathy, their kindness, and their friendship. C. V. BOLD WM. BOORSE R. F. BOOMHOWER CHARLES V.

SCHOOL BOARD Very few of the students within the walls of our high school and elementary buildings realize the full importance of the small but efficient body of men at the head of our school, the School Board. The gentle- men found in this group are: Dr. .l. Donald Kratz, O. D., optometrist, Willard S. Detwiler, retired underwriter for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Paul M. Hunsicker, mortician, Gerald O. Johnson, professional engineer for the Lexco Manufacturing Corporation, Victor M. Nice, real estate broker, and John Seitz, ser- vice station proprietor. This group meets willingly and faithfully once a month to discuss problems that may have arisen in the various schools in our district. They are responsible for the hiring of the faculty, and help immensely in mak- ing our school programs as inspirational and successful as they are. We, the Class of l956, humbly thank these six men for their sincerity in planning our educational training. We deeply appreciate all of their co-operation in helping us to make Souderton High School a better place in which to prepare ourselves for our individual roles of adulthood 7
