Polchlopek, Mr. Conklin The Board of Education, whose members are elected by the taxpayers of the com- munity, has the responsibility of providing suitable schools and equipment and of super- vising the operation of the schools. Although the contacts of board members with the school during class hours are necessarily limited, we are aware of the fact that our school board is constantly concerned with the growth and improvement of Upper Merion Town- ship public schools. We wish to let them know that we appreciate the time and effort they spend to make possible the many advantages we enjoy in our school. Greetings and best wishes for a successful and happy future to each member of the Class of 1948. Darwin S. Wolcott, President of the Board of Education

DEDICATION As has been the custom in previous years, we are dedicat- ing our yearbook to the person who we feel is most deserving. How- ever this is really more than a dedicationg it is a way for us to show om- gratitude and respect for a person who has been more than a teacher to us. As a class she has treated us with understandingg as an in- dividual we have always had a friend. Not only in class did we ap- preciate her but also in our outside activities. With her guidance we have achieved success in whatever we undertook It is with great pleasure that we, the Class of 1948, dedicate our yearbook to Mrs. Marie Wolfskill - a true and sincere friend.

COCKLIN, Superintendent Shippensburg S.T.C.g B.S. - Frank- lin and Marshall Collegeg A.M. - University of Pennsylvania MASTER KEYS The doors to a happy and successful life are held by locks of many keys. Hidden within you is your key to these locks. When, where, and how you use it depends upon you. Educa- tion does not have master keys which it distrib- utes with diplomas. Perhaps school has helped you polish the key and file off the rough edges so that it can be used more easily, perhaps school has even helped you discover what kind of key it is, but it must be yours to find and use. Upper Merion hopes that your key will mm- lock many doors and that the rooms which are opened are large and beautiful. WARREN H. C OCKLIN ROBERT R. STRINE, P rinc ipal B.S. - Ursinus Collegeg M.S. - Buck- nell Collegeg University of Pennsyl- Class of 1948 - Good-bye and good luck! You have been a good class most of the time, and just bad enough some of the time to make my work with you interesting and challenging. I like your feel- ing of independenceg your individual and class thinkingg your courage to break away from the standards set by classes before you. This fine yearbook, as well as your many other contributions to Upper Merion's success based upon democratic procedures, is a tribute to your class as a whole. Our interest in you will not cease when you leave us. Come back to see us, and keep us informed of your varied interests and activities. Help us to make your school even better for your successors than it was for you. Sincerely Robert R. Strine -u- A- --- -in-1' 1 -11k -- vania
