DEDICATIQ i iWl1o deserves morge credit for the suc- cess of the class of 1950 than Mr. Oscar Hugus? It was through his strenuous efforts as eighth grade advisor that this 'class was fully prepared for the respon- sibilities of high school. The Seniors of 1950 made up his last eighth grade class before he became grade school principal. Mr. Hugus was horn just three miles from Knox in the year 1904. Following his elementary education in the rural schools of Beaver Township, he attended White Memorial School and was gradu- -ated with the class of 1924. ln the spring of 1924 he entered what was formerly known as the Clarion Normal School. That fall he began his teaching career in a one room school in Beaver Town- ship. He continued teaching there two years while attending night classes and summer school. He was graduated from Clarion State Teachers College with a B. S. degree. Later he attended the graduate school of the University of Pittsburgh. In the meantime he taught four years in the elementary schools of Shippenville. NV. OSCAR HUGUS In 1930 hc came to Knox as seventh and eighth grade teacher. He served in this capacity until 1946 at which time he took up the duties of grade school principal. In addition to his duties as grade school principal, he has had charge of the sale of lunch tickets since the school lunch program was started and has acted in the capacity of ticket-taker at nearly all school functions. This May he was in charge of the Pre-School Clinic. VVhen he isnit in his office, he can usually be found in one ofthe class rooms where he still teaches seventh grade history, eighth grade geography, and ninth grade civics. For your twenty-six years of devotion to the teaching profession with only three days absence because of personal illness we, the staff, proudly dedicate the White Memo of 1950 to you, Mr. Hugus, in appreciation for all you have done for the students of this school, past and present. May your untiring efforts bring you continued success in future years of teaching.
