TUB SCHOOL BUNNIMS SMOOTHLY Dear Students: It has been my pleasure to be your principal at Alton the past four years. When I think of how fast time flies and how fast things are changing, I wonder what will come next. As youth of today work, think, and dream, we can be sure there is plenty of change in the offing. There are things with which you are not satisfied. Think seriously about these problems and decide what you should do about them. I am sure your answers will be new and different, but so will the world in which you have your careers, homes, families, and interests. I sincerely hope we have given you some help in making your decisions. —Sincerely, Carl Williams Principal Mills and Mrs. Sizemore, better known as kool-aides, assist teachers and take of- fice correspondence. Head secretary, Mrs. Cline, takes care of all filing and financial records.
