Clay City High School - Claytonian Yearbook (Clay City, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1957 volume:

The Claytonian in years to come will bring back memories of apprenticeship in preparation for Life . . . C. C.H.S. means much more to us as Seniors than it did as Freshmen,—yes, more than a mere candlelight, a bright and ceaseless headlight with wider beams for tomorrow. Mggm - ■ ■v. •, V'x St‘-. y '• A  •'  fA .vy 'A1. fc ■'.ww.flWiv.' The Claytonian staff of 57 dedicates this yearbook to Mr. Jack Gengler, who greatly deserves the honor. Mr. Gengler has rendered our community a very excellent service as band director. Through his efforts many students have learned to enjoy playing instruments. He has given our people the pleasure of listening to good music. We all say thanks to Mr. Gengler who has helped the morale of our school.
