The band accelerated school spirit at pep rallies and half-time shows, while the Key Club pro! vided the football fans with programs. The Tri-Hi-Y decorated a Christmas tree for the school lobby and collected food for the needy in the community. Future Nurses provided holiday gifts for a local rest home. Some excellent school assemblies were sponsored by the student council which was also instrumental in setting up several school policies. The newspaper, The Panther's View, which in T959 won first place award in the annual Quill and Scroll Society con- test, did a great iob of public relations by keeping the student body informed and alerting the community as to what was going on in our school. The yearbook staff, in producing this year's annual, hopes it has been able to portray a sense of pride felt by all students. As we display devotion to our school and community, we look back to May 27, 1959 when a truly great statesman, John Foster Dulles, was laid to rest. His life was one of utmost devotion to his country.
