Letters
from ’44-’45 Presidents
• •
I would like to say to all you
8th graders who next year will
be enrolled in the ninth grade of
Junior High School, that your
next year will be full of bright
opportunities. In the last three
years I have attended and visited
many schools and I can assure
you that never before have I
seen a school with any better edu
cational, physical, and student
government facilities than this
one which will next year be run
by you.
To Dewey Greer,' and the exe
cutive committee I would like to
say that you are lyery fortunate
in having Mrs. Ross as your
council advisor. I am sure you
will find her very co-operative
and helpful in many ways and
will receive the same»^co-operation
from our principal, Mr. Thayer.
But boys and girls, remember
this. Next year you will not be
kept organized only by your ele
cted leaders, but by ’each stud
ent’s individual participation and
cooperation with every member
of faculty and students.
Sincerely yours,
TONY TEACHEY.
