Ellllll-BYE IJANA
Representing the graduating
class of '53, we would like to say
good-bye to Dana.
When looking: back upon our
niany days at Dana, we notice
the helpful attitude of the en-
tire administration. The faculty
and especially our counselor M1'.
A. D, Dax-is have aided us, not
only in our scholastic work but
also have endeavored to make us
inruurc, responsible persons.
Our only wish is that in the
yr-nrs to come this cn-opcmtive
spirit will continue and that fut-
ure classes will recognize the im-
portance of this advice and will
become better students of tomor-
row,
We have arrived at an ini-
portant educational milestone of
going- from junior to senior high
school. During- the following
years we hope to accomplish
many things to make Dana proud
ci' us. With this in mind we say,
with both happiness and regret,
good-bye and thank you for ev-
erything you have done for us.
