WE dedicate this book to Mrs. O. R. Owens, the faculty sponsor of the first HA WKS' NEST, that memorable 1947 edition! We are also indebted to her for our school song. Realizing the need of an in- spiring alma mater , Mrs. Owens suggested the idea to her 1946-47 music class. To- gether they composed the words. The tune is a borrowed one, but the harmony in the original manuscript was devised by Pat Se- well, a senior member of the 1947 year- book staff. During the ten years since the publication of the first HAWKS' NEST, Mrs. Owens has remained on our faculty as instructor in English, music, and speech. In her own inimitable way, she has endeared herself to all of us students even while demanding adherence to her high classroom standards. With rare understanding, Maudie has shared our joys, our sorrows, our work, and our play. She has renewed our hopes and sympathized with us in our disappointments. She has always been ready to encourage us, or to lend a helping hand when we were floundering. Only by dedicating this tenth anniversary edition of the HAWKS' NEST to her, do we feel that we can in some small way repay her for her unselfish efforts in preparing us for the future.

THE CAMPUS The 1948 HAWKS' NEST recorded the organization of a drum corps to add color to the football games which had been resumed following the end of World War II. The high school had no band. Cheerleaders and majorettes were elected to add effectiveness to the pep squad. Another new group on the cam- pus was the choral club. Mrs. O.R. Owens continued to serve as faculty- sponsor for the HAWKS' NEST which was edited in 1948 by Joan Whistler. Jan Bedford was business manager Dwain Lofland, artist on the annual staff, created a pert little cartoon char- acter, christened Henry Hawk . Hen- ry appeared on the cover of the 1948 annual and also on all of the division pages. A reproduction of the manu- script copy of the school song was the frontispiece.
