Bvery school needs some one upon whom they can depend to keep the school in order and always ready for school activities. This year, we were more than fortunate to have the services of Hr. James Sprague. He is always ready to lend a helping hand to those who help themselves. All during the year it looked as though ho had an endless Job ahead of him but he always performed it choorfully and well. At times wo have caused him extra v ork but thoro has nover been a complaint. Tho Senior class takes this bpportunity to oxprossthoir approci tion for what ho has done for them. Elmer Tippitt '26.
