Ashland High School - Bluejay Yearbook (Ashland, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 44 of the 1948 volume:

J. E. HUMPHREYS The Senior Class of 1948 dedicates this, the first Weejun, to J. E. Humphreys: first, because he has so competently guided the fortunes of Ashland High School since 1929; second, because without him the Weejun could not have been possible; third, because he has been an instructor and good friend to all of us, both in the classroom and out; but mostly because we sincerely like and admire him. rfdmi U4tnatio«i School VU tt y L HIGH SCHOOL GRADE SCHOOL 6 ScAool C££icial F.
