No one can realize, as can the persons who worked under Mr. Kidder, the value of his patience, sacrifices and untiring efforts in the making of this, our first Annual.

May his life, as an inspiration and example to the Student Body, urge them on to the goal of higher ideals.
Miss Beadle is loved by the Student Body for her vital interest and faith in each and every one. Her dependability and willingness have been of great value in the success of the Annual.

BOARD OF EDUCATION

    If you want a public office, on in which you can devote a goodly amount of your time, thought, and your efforts and then wait till “doom’s day” for a thank-you, which you will never get, then bid for a place on the Board of Education.

     Few ever realize, unless they have at some time served on such a Board, what is expected of a board-member. He must be ready to drop his work at any time when something important at the school must be attended to. He uses his very best judgment at all times, but being human, is not able to please everybody, so becomes the target for many fiery darts. But there are some who do appreciate these efforts and so with those, the Faculty and students join in this expression of appreciation.
