" 1 ' P iff CTM: J-hgh ,Schoofl Studlenta lecbca fion We, the Alba annual staff, dedicate this edition of the 'AlbamoW to the Seniors of yes- terday, today, and tomorrow. This book is in memory of the thrills of that last year when class meetings and elec- tions, even the routine of classes, took on an added value in the anticipation of events to come. Furthermore, entwined in our memories is the excitement of Senior week when the ban- quets, teas, and commencement services took place, when the Seniors wore their caps and gowns in the joyful thought of graduating and when they felt a wistfulness, regretting to leave the school and friends they knew so well. If in years hence, a graduate of A. H. S. glances through this year book and remembers more vividly his days in high school, our ef- forts in its publication will have been re- warded. aw: Nb'-' Wlyne BUYUF gsr is ,iff5gffs5 Kenton BOYS' Senior of Yesterday t2'l 'mtff it , ' ' 2,457 senior of Tomorrow L . ,--. .

W. Glenn Allison Me Ae CEducationD I I 'f,l"u'La.1J'1,x, As the 1948 Albamo goes to press, no executive has been selected by the school board to take Er. Al1ison's position. Many and varied are the changes that have been made in the Alba schools since the day Mr. Allison accepted the position as superintendent. His fine job of coach- ing has brought to the basketball teams the praise and respect of the district. Because of his cordial personality, his kind and soft-spoken temperament, his insatiable interest in the general welfare of the Alba school system and all its activities, his total understanding and fairness in dealing with the every day problems confronting him, his sterling quality as an educational administrator and a gentleman, we, the students, wish to express our gratitude and sincere appreciation.
