1955 DEDICATION BUILDINGS PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE FACULTY SCHOOL BOARD SCHOOL WORKERS ALMA MATER SENIORS JUNIORS SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN JUNIOR HIGH ORGANIZATIONS BAND FAVORITES BEAUTIES ATHLETICS ADVERTISEMENTS In appreciation for her helpfulness, cheerfulness, and friendly interest, the staff affectionately dedi cates to its sponsor, MISS MERRIEL LEE NORTHROP this edition of the Flomaton High School HURRI CANE School '3utidi uf l - ScuCcli uf “ScutcC cUCduty Dear Students: As you think of life, its triumphs and failures, accomplish- ments and disappointments, may each of you ask yourselves: where am I and how do I fit in the place which I fill? Am I using the knowledge I have to the best advantage of my home, school, community, and the world of which I am a part? Is the link of the chain which I represent in this game of life strong and clean and trustworthy? As you hold your link in life's chain, may you remember there are four things which no one can recall, the spoken word, the sped arrow, time past and the neglected oppor- tunity. Therefore may each of you be mindful of the best which is within you, that the world may be a better place because you have lived. Your principal MRS. SYLVIA WATERS Junior Math Science MISS JOYCE RAMEY Junior English MISS MERRIEL LEE NORTHROP Commercial eee 9000 lOOOO locai School 'StxvicC MR. OVIES WHITE Chairman MR.

Thy years of teaching to us beseeching. To be true, in all we do. Through all our days. The years we've been here. Are years we hold dear. They make us feel near. Although we part. As years roll by Thou wilt be nigh. We always will. Love thee still Within our hearts. Although we're leaving. Our hearts are grieving Our thoughts are weaving. Sweet dreams of you. When trials beset us. Please don't forget us. So we part with food heart. And sad adieu. ED THOMPSON President FFA FFA String Band Sckc i Sponsor MRS.

FRANK DIXON MR. MRS. D. L. BAKER T4—TE ANNUAL STAFF Sa . , . 'WJlcitf Getting out this yearbook is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we're silly; If we don't people say we are serious. If we clip from other books. We are too lazy to write it ourselves; If we don't, we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick to the job all day. We ought to be out hunting pictures; If we do get out and hustle. We ought to be putting first things first. If we don't print contributions. We don't appreciate true genius; If we do, the book is filled with junk. If we make a change in a fellow's write-up, We are too critical; If we don't, we are asleep. Now, like as not someone will say We swiped this from some other book— WE DID! FINISHED AT LAST! WAS IT WORTH IT?
