CLAYTONIAN: DEDICATION To this Board of Education, elective symbols of a confident and progressive community, we dedicate this publication. The special task which they have undertaken is almost done, a culmination of over two years of arduous, unremitting civic devotion, which, without any consideration other than its magnitude and perfection, is a dedication within itself. The work which they have wrought will live long after they have gone, and its dividends belong to those who will pass through its halls in the never ending parade of generation upon generation. Here is witness to the strength of cooperation: here, testimony to the vision of democracy. For if education is to preserve democracy, then democracy must provide for education. That we may not seem unappreciative of those whose expert counsel has been indispensable we herewith list: The State Department of Public Instruction, Springfield. The Office of High School Visitor, University of Illinois. The law firm of Smith and McCollum, Flora. The architectural firm of Royer, Danely and Davis, Urbana, and Resident Architect K. D. Jennings. The Public Works Administration of the United States of America and Resident Engineer Inspector Samuel Harr. The Tri-State Contracting Corporation, Evansville, Indiana, and its construction superintendent, Mr. Howard Orndorff. The heating contractor, Mr. E. B. Thompson, Christopher. To these and the multitudinous others who have contributed to the successful completion of this project, goes our eternal gratitude, and the veneration of those to come. THE SENIOR CLASS There are times when words are too feeble. To express our soul’s deepest thought. We try, fail, stutter, and stammer. Of no use are the things we’ve been taught. Now that the time for the quitting of school days Has arrived, after four happy years, We gladly turn toward the future; Yet we leave our Alma-Mater in tears. To our progressive Board of Education, Bokenkamp, Lewhirst, Clark, Weiler and Duff. We give you this, in pay for your work. We realize it isn’t enough. We dedicate to you this annual, Our last work in Clay City High. May it stand for our progress and training. Thanks for the start; now we aim toward the sky. FERN SAPP rNINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY NINE

CLAYTONIAN; FORWARD To-day we present the 1939 edition of the Claytonian. You may scan the pages from mere curiosity and then lay it away. But this volume has a more important mission than that which grips you at the present time. If, in later years—years that now seem so far distant— you will turn the pages and in fond reminiscence recall the days at dear old Clay City Community High School, this book will have served its purpose and served it well. NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY NINE
