DEDICATION MR. THOMAS A CAMPION As each class departs from its Alma Mater, there remains in memory someone who can be called a special friend, a pal , a downright nice guy. This someone is a person who has earned the respect of everyone. One who always has a friendly greeting, the Willingness to help, and something to lift our spirits when things are low. Since coming to Upper Merion, this man has been all of that to usp a symbol of fight, hope, and the will to win. To us, the departing class, he has been more than just a teacher, someone extraordinary, someone that we can trust. So, it is with the greatest of pleasure that We, the Class of l949, dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Thomas A. Campion - our sincere friend. -5-
