In Dea'z'eatz'0a . ...,. .. ,.,4 it . -,.v - .4-.DFW Pauline Lopus, Celoron Advisor Mildred Burk, Lakewood Advisor The Class of '54 is proud to dedicate this Cerztralian to Mrs. Mildred Burk and Miss Pauline Lopus, the yearbook sponsors. Miss Lopus is not new to Celoron. She was a member of the first class graduating from the present Celoron High School building. After her graduation she entered Fredonia State Teachers College. After receiving her diploma from Fredonia she taught first in the primary grades of the Celoron and Glidden branches of our school. Although Miss Lopus now has her hands full with the seventh and eighth grade citizenship education classes, she is always willing to help any other student needing her assistance. Everyone in the cast of the senior play will remember how patiently and capably she directed it. One Foot in Heaven would never have been such a big success without Miss Lopus behind the curtains helping us whenever we needed her. Miss Lopus also sponsors the Teen-Age Talent Club of which many of us were members back when we were freshmen and sophomores. Besides all these other activities, Miss Lopus is the Celoron sponsor of our yearbook. She has cheerfully contributed her time and her services toward making this one of the best yearbooks ever published. We know we will never forget all that Miss Lopus has clone for us so we want to repay her in a small way by dedicating to her this, the 1954 Centralian. Mrs. Burk attended grade school Union City, Pennsylvania, but was a member of the last class graduating from the old Lakewood High School. Mrs. Burk also was graduated from Fredonia State Teachers College. She taught sikth grade at Randolph, and at the North Side School at East Williston, New York. Mrs. Burk was a substitute teacher for all the grades at Lakewood from 1935 to 1943, and started teaching full time at Lake- wood High School in September, 1943. Mrs. Burk has, in her nineteen years at Lake- wood, been the secretary of the Faculty Club, president of the Faculty Club, seeretary of the P.T.A., and a member of the faculty play. At the present time Mrs. Burk is the seventh and eighth grade mathematics teacher and one of the eighth grade advisors besides her duties as year- book advisor. Mrs. Burk has worked diligently, year after year, to improve the yearbooks. She has spent countless time and effort to makd this and past Centralians a success. Her efforts have long seemed to go unrecognized, so Welshould like to use this dedication to show our appreciation and that of the staff of past yearbooks, to Mrs. Burk for her competent advice and ability.

emory 72 WELLINGTON C. WASHBURN Last July a beloved teacher was taken suddenly from our midst. We grieve the loss of Wellington Washburn. Mr. Washburn Was a graduate of Buffalo State Teachers College and had earned his Masters degree from St. Bonaventure University. He had made a real place for himself in our school by his diligent work for the pupils, his fellow teachers, and the com- munity. He was extremely accurate and precise in all his Work, first as shop instructor, and later as a teacher of English in the junior high school. Mr. Washburn,s ready laugh and cheery disposition, and his lively interest in all school affairs was warm encouragement to us all. We shall long remember him.
