A FRIEND'S GREETING (Edgar A. Guest) I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me; I'd like to be the help that you've been always glad to be; I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day As you have meant, Old friend of mine, to me along the way. I’d like to do the big things and the splendid things for you, To brush the gray from out your skies and leave them only blue; I’d like to say the kindly things that I so oft have heard, And feel that I could rouse your soul the way that mine you've stirred. I'd like to give you back the joy that you have given me, Yet that were wishing you a need I hope will never be: I’d like to make you feel as rich as I, who travel on Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to lean upon. I'm wishing at the joyous time that I could but repay a portion of the gladness that you have strewn along the way; And could I have one wish this year this only would it be; I’d like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me. With these thoughts in mind, We the Seniors would like to dedicate this yearbook to a person who is a very special friend to each and everyone of us. She is a very helpful and reliable person who's smile helps to make each day a little more bearable. She is a helper to teachers and students alike. Therefore we would like to dedicate the 1975 Panther Annual to you, Mary Jo From.

Eugene G. Thompson - Superintendent To the Class of 1975: The effects of education or instruction upon the growth of a student is of great importance. However, there is one main concern that must be developed. An Annual Report to the Board of Harvard University stated that The Primary concern of American education today is not the development of the appreciation of the 'good life' in young people. Our purpose is to cultivate in the largest possible number of our future citizens an appreciation of both the responsibilities and the benefits which come to them because they are Americans and are free.” It is our hope that you leave Lodgepole High School with an appreciation of our country and an acceptance of the responsibilities that are found in our lives. Respectfully, A Eugene Thompson Superintendent
