Many opportuni- ties are provided for youg it is your responsibility to take advantage of these as they appear. The only price you pay for an education is your effort and willing- ness to accept that which is offered to you through the public schools. Continuous efforts on your part will as- sure you of a high standing in society.

i 'MT N JB' 1 f si ,. 1, -4. na J, f, 'Q ' .flupezintendent , i f QM'-f ' ,i M At statehood in 1890, Wyoming had a well-developed grade school system with a university at the head. A mandate from the people contained in the constitution stated that education must remain free to all. In addition, eight high schools, in- cluding Fvanston, were offering college preparatory courses. Thus runs the early educational history of our very young state, and from that time the narrative tells of continuous progress. Evanston High school has been recognized since 1918 as a member of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. In addition, it is accredited by the State Department of Edu- cation and the University of Wyoming be- cause of the standards maintained. However, this record is not one upon which to rest our laurels. Rather it should serve as an inspiration from which to build and continue to grow in order that Fvanston pupils may be prepared to the best of our ability to meet problems of citizenship in our commuhity, state, and nation. This is no light task. f'27Z'A!7 I gl. U W i 5' Page 21

Qjl fuiineu Manager An indispensable man nabout schooln is Rudger Davis, whose jobs increase with his years of service in the Evanston public schools. Students and teachers meet him daily in his secretarial duties, which are in- numerable. The last day of each month he is welconed by the teachers with the all important medium of exchange, the pay check. Selling tickets at games and social activities, checking in and out books, acting postman, guardian of the finances, records, records, advice, questions, question--HWhere to go,H HWhy,H Hwhere will I find this or thatu are all infinite, yet voluminous items of his daily agenda. Though Hudger is often abrupt and frank in his remarks, his humor and.sincerity overshadow his unintentional retorts. HOnce a friend, always a friend,H holds true to him. Page 23
