DEDIICATJIQ 50 Years of Progress For Our School -I I I' In the beginning-for every bit of authentic history must have a beginning, there was a building known as the Central School , which did duty from the year 1870 to 1903. At this time the overflow of students was evident. The board of education and the superintendent, Mr. G. M. Holiday, had the interest of the school very much at heart. They realized that affairs had reached a climax and steps had to be taken. A resolution was passed favoring a proposition for 875,000 bonds for a new High School building, to be voted on at the school election April 7, 1903. On July 1, 1904, work was actually begun. Thus began fifty years of pro- gress. Down through the years the leaders of our school system have never taken their eye off their goal, which is better education under better con- ditions. It is true that after we feel, how dear to my heart are the scene of my childhood and regretfully make advancements. Still we look forward with eager anticipation. Today the Carthage High School stands perfect in harmony and proportion, simple, but mass- ive and imposingg a monument of Classic Art, symbolical of the culture of Carthage, and the triumph of those connected with its plan and erec- tion. But the best is yet to come,new heights remained to be reached, our goal is still in the distance as it inevitability shall be. Progress does not stand still. It is unceasingly in effect. Today, as in the past, we are strid- ing upward and onward. The heart of each and every student overflows with gratitude to our faculty and to the citizens of Carthage. To those who have aided in giving us such splendid advantages for higher education we do humbly dedicate the Carthaginian of 1955-56. WG!! M SM
