Always helping us through our problems, consistently going out of their way for our good were our sponsors, Mrs. Eleanor Gregory and Herman Keller. All of our class proiects were successful due to their hard work. Never was there a time when they weren't willing to help guide us through our problems and help us carry out our ideas. Their consideration will long be remembered because they helped make our years at Bosse something to hold in our hearts forever. Our faculty exceeded all others. Through four years of high school we struggled, many times falling, but always with their aid we retraced our steps. Our friends, not just instructors, would be a better label for our faculty. They helped us when- ever they could with our studies and also with our outside activities. lVe won't forget our new principal, David Dud- ley, or Mr. Charles McClary and his scirmishes with the athletic funds.
