The Ilion Sentinel - IHS 1944 - Andy Honored In HS Year Book

'Andy' Honored In HS Year Book

The senior class annual year book "The Mirror", is dedicated this year to an old and valued friend of every high school student, Andrew Rasmussen.

"Andy," as he is known to every boy and girl, is retiring this year, after 35-years of service, and the editorial staff of "The Mirror" unanimously agreed that the annual should be a tribute to him.

Andy has been a friend to every high school student and teacher and the students and alumni will long remember his many favors. He punched no clock and kept no hours, always was there to oblige with his ready grin.

Joseph Baker, vice-principal, was advisor to the editorial staff which was managed by Donna Smith and Shirley Cramer, co-editors, assisted by Sally Edgett, Thelma Preston and Jean Lyon.

The book will have 56 pages instead of 76 as last year, due to restrictions on paper. The paper is of lighter weight, and it was found necessary to omit some features, but Andy's picture is in the front of the book.

It was planned to call him before the final assembly and show him "his" annual, but freight conditions delayed the delivery of the books. The cover this year is brown, with a rectangular section near the top to which "The Mirror" is printed in gold.
