FOREWORD FOREWORD Between the covers of this book are encompassed all the pictures and information per- tinent to the activities and members of Spencerport High School. It is the aim of this publication to provide a lifelong remembrance to each student of the happy years he spent here. In 1940, the first yearbook in twenty years was edited by the Echo staff. With the able assistance of Mr. Buell Arnold, Miss Jane Miller, and Mr. Edgar Dubois, the book was a great success and 275 copies were printed. This year the volume has an estimated circulation of 350 copies and has increased eight pages in content. This 1940-41 Record will, 1t is hoped, measure up to the high standards set by last year's issue. The yearbook is indebted to Betty Ann Utter as editor, and Mr. Partington as advisor, for the time’ and effort they have devoted to making the book a success.

NELSON C. WOOD PRINCIPAL DEDICATED te ou PRINCIPAL In appreciation of the splendid work he has done during his five years as Principal of the Spencerport High School, this book is hereby dedicated to Mr. Nelson C. Wood. Since he began his duties in 1936 he has contributed a great deal toward the improvement of the school program. Through his untiring efforts a number of valuable innovations have been successfully introduced and carried through. One of the most worthwhile projects instituted by Mr. Wood was student government. In 1936 he suggested the plan, and tried unsuccessfully to arouse the interest of the student body. In 1939 a Student Council was established which 1s now functioning very efficiently. In 1936 the curriculum was amplified by the addition of a kindergarten. In 1937 the Industrial Arts Department was added; in 1938, the Agricultural course and our own bus system. In these ways, our high school has grown and expanded during Mr. Wood's ter! Several classes have graduated since 1936, and the members of each will long remember the friendly and helpful advice he rendered to them on perplexing problems regarding studies, choosing a career, and other activities. By his own example, he has taught others consideration and fair play. His guidance has given everyone who sought his counsel, new strength and courage, and fortified them to go on. Mr. Wood is well worthy of the high esteem in which all the students hold him. Everyone regards him, not as a disciplinarian, but as a strong friend who is deeply interested in the welfare of each individual.
