the mar mi esenied ARGENTA SENIOR Jor ARGENTA COMMUNITY CLASS UIGEI SIROOL Frontispiece The year 1950-51 has been a successful year for Argenta High School. The basketball team attained many honors during the current season for which everyone is proud. The members of the team showed excellent sportsmanship throughout their victories and defeats and they were a credit to our school. Many of these players were members of the senior class. The school has run smoothly and efficiently. This may be attributed in a very large part to the people behind the scenes; namely, Mr. Evans, Mr. Mahoney, Mrs. Buckley, Mrs. Wallace, and Mrs. Hammer. The senior class, the faculty, and all other students are grateful to them for their excellent cooperation. The senior class is not forgetting a classmate, Marvin Cain, who enlisted in the Navy during the year. xMany alumni of Argenta High School are also serving our country. In spite of our successes there have been the ups and downs which come in any way of life, but it is our goal to strive for greater cooperation and to surmount any obstacle which may stand in the way of our success. The senior class of 1951 is not dedicating the PILOT to any one person, but to all persons who have contributed in any way to the school's well-being. — The Editors Hoard of Education 1950-51 Sealed: Vern D.
