A TRIB TE S. H. S. has been very fortunate in having had the services of Miss Thornburgh. She has been with us for the past five years. having acted as principal the first two and as superintendent the last three years of her stay. She has, during that time, given entire satisfaction. She has been untiring in her efforts for S. H. S.. nor does her work end with the day, It is very seldom that she is seen to leave the H. S. building before six o'clock in the evening. VVe are not exaggerating nor stretching the fact whatever when we say that she has not been surpassed in H. S A better teacher than Miss Thornburgh we could not ask for. The only request that we could or would make is that we may have more like her. The greatest progress S. H. S. has made has been under the direction of Miss Thornliurgh, XVe have bought a piano and paid for it by giving socia's. entertainments, minstrels and plays, All of these have been grand successes and have been directed by Miss Thornburgh. In 1916. The Herald, this year called The Booster, was brought into existence and in spite of the small support it received. it has so far weathered the storms, At least a part of every patriotic work that has coine along has been assigned to the high school under the care of Miss Thornhurgh. Nor is this all, XVhen Miss Strout resigned. she took upon her shoulders the burdens of tivo teachers and al- though greatly handicapped, she kept the machinery of the school running in just as smooth order as it had before. She has been a friend to the pupils as well as a teacher. Not only has she the interest of the school at heart. hut that of the entire community, for this as well as the school has been benefited hy the services of Miss Thorn- hurgh. We have tried to show our appreciation, but it seems that ingratitude showed instead in its place. The least we could do and have done was to dedicate this annual to her. and let us all help to support this in buying and selling these annuals so that Miss Thorn- burgh will not be forced to dig up another play in order to defray the expenses of this book. And now, Hats Off, to Miss Thornburgh, and give her three cheers and a tiger. 4The matter on this and the three following pages was misplaced in the hurry of lfllmillg the annual. The trihute to Miss Thornburgh should have appeared on page Tivo. the Sophomore History on page Eighteen and the Freshnian poem on page Twenty- two. Please accept apologies of the printeixl
