N1 Tribute tn the Faculty We, the Class of '44, wish to express our grati- tude to the faculty of Tainaqua High School. They have seen us through three years of struggle, work, and play. and have added their share to our academic and character development. They have guided us through these years, and they have persevered with many of us who were diiiicult to understand because we found it hard to grow up. They have earned our gratitude. Our teachers helped also to make our high school days more interesting by taking upon their shoulders the extra burden of organizing and supervising our many extra-curricular activities. These added morale, good fellowship, education. and the opportunity of meeting together in groups. Our Tri-Hi-Y and H-Y, which also helped to develop character, are just two of these many activities. We salute our new coaches, who are also mem- bers of the faculty, for the contributions they made to our high school life. These men gave some of us excellent guidance in active competition in sportsg Fourteen KRW' fi' he YVIMQNA J. :xl,I.l1N, A.B. Bl-.N,lAs1lN B. Bum, A.B., M.A Gauze M. Bmuu, ILS. MARY' Bnswsk, A.B.

they gave the rest of us teams to cheer for. Both these things are a vital part of American school life and the memories of our work on the teams and our victories will remain with us. Our faculty contributed willingly and greatly to the war effort. Many of its former members are now serving in the various branches of the armed forces. Others have given much of their valuable time to the work at home. They distributed the ration booksg they promoted the various drivesg and they did much to increase the sale of bonds and stamps. We have described here some of the interests which the teachers had outside their classrooms in school and community affairs because we think that teachers today should have outside interests. They should be alert and interested in affairs as they are and as they are going to be. Our teachers have this interest. The success which we attained during our high school days and the characters which we have de- veloped to carry us on in the years to come are due largely to the whole-hearted interest of all our facul- ty members. This we will not forget. Teachers, we salute you! Sixteen H. RUBEN XVELKEII, B.S. WVIYNIYFI, WHSH, BS. 4. I . 1 ..- 1 I w HEl,I5N R. WlNsl.ow, BS. lm H. Rluzn
