Advertising 2 Multi-Purpose Wing Industrial Arts Building Foreword As time elapses, our school days may become faded memories. In this book we have established a record of the 1962-63 school year's events to keep these memories from fading. One of the highlights of the year was the celebration of Mrs. Clark's fiftieth year of teaching. She has dedicated these years to preparing young people for the future. Every- one who has been under her instruction has appreciated her guiding hands, her willingness to help, and her sincere friendliness. Therefore we, the Class of 1963, dedicate this yearbook to Mrs. Myron (Eva) Clark. 4 Class of 1963 WAYNE A.
