Mr. Luper Mr. Palmer DEDICATION MONG our faculty we have two men who work unceasingly and un- tiringly for our school. In order to show our great appreciation, it gives us the greatest of pleasure to dedicate this annual to Mr. Loren J. Luper and Mr. Arthur E. Palmer. Mr. Luper has produced a band that has consistently received a superior rating for many years. He is always willing to provide music for the athletic games as well as for programs given in the auditorium. His orchestra has also been recognized as being an outstanding organization of young mu- sicians. The work of Mr. Palmer may be seen throughout the school in the form of bookcases and shelves; in stage scenery for our plays; and in equipment for entertainments and carnivals. In the Visual Education department he is responsible for the progress we have made in this new field and method of instruction. To these two members of our faculty, we owe a sincere vote of thanks.

FOREWORD We, as the crew of the good ship, Albany High School, have weathered many storms and are now nearing the port. Under the guidance of Mr. Hudson as Captain, and Bill Mikkelson as Navigator, we have passed safely through the dangerous passage, and now the sea of life lies before us. Never once have we run aground, although a few snags, in the form of examinations, have been struck. We have passed through fog, only to come out into the sunshine again. The waves have broken over the ship, but have not sunk it. The faculty, as officers of our ship, have safely steered us; and now, as the sun sets upon another year, we shall set our sails for the voyage through life. It is our sincere hope that this voyage will be safely passed and that we shall be able to meet face to face the storms that will occur. We will meet these storms with a clear eye and an open mind, always remem- bering that down the sea of the centuries man sails the ship of his dreams, seeking the har- bor of happiness.

IN MEMORIAM Genevieve Godwin Leon Muller Keith Ewing Donald Tigner Eldon Shultz Our Master called. Our friends were among those who answered His call. Our friends answered. Now they are beyond the trials and tribulations of life here on earth. Maybe it is a good thing. Their lives were full. They shed their light on those about them, and before that light could be dimmed, they were called. Our friends answered, leaving behind them, at first, sorrow, then a certain feeling of contentment. Those to whom they were most dear knew that they had served their purpose and were now going on to higher and better things. Our friends answered. We cannot all comprehend these things that are beyond our control. It was meant in that way. As time lessens the ache in our hearts, it is easier to understand and to feel that The Master was right. Our friends answered, but their memory will linger on throughout the years.
