,gn lalarecia fion Miss Lois Smith With the opening of our junior year came our most perplexing problems. We had appreciated Lois, the secretary, but it was then we realized to what extent she had helped in our school activities. The printing of the Spoondrift made itnecessary for us to work in the office under her direction. She patiently labored with us and taughtus to use the facilities provided. At the beginning af the senior year we began to wonder how many credits we had. It was Lois who dropped her work to help us. These are a very few of the many things she has done to help us through our trying times 'without a word of thanks or appreciation from us. It is our desire that she might realize that we will always remember her efforts.

Hoare! of Cgelucafion C laron Hilbert, Clerkg Claude Hittg Walter Smithg Mervin Applegate, Presidentg Forrest McC allag Glen Countryman. Today there is a moimting tide of sentiment in behalf of more and better educa- tion. This desire is prompted by our entrance into a new era in the history of man where intelligence must be guided by the unselfish concern for the common good. The American people have had a great faith in 'what the schools could do for the individual. Your board of education is fully aware of its great responsibility and endeavors to provide every possible opportunity for the youth of this community. A successful school program is more than the responsibility of the board of education and faculty. The responsibility and interest must be shared by all parents and citizens. The unification of the community in the school is the only way which will truly make the public school the public's school. All of our hope for the future rests upon the training and development of the children in school today. Let us dedicate ourselves to a better tomorrow through the training of our youth. Mervin B. Applegate
