We realize that this is Mr. Jackson's first year as super- intendent of Bernie School System and that through his concen- trated efforts, our school is growing both in quality and quant- ity. Superintendent Jackson has had placed upon his shoulders a responsibility of the utmost importance to us as students and to the future of the school. Our school is now undergoing a great change in the way of many improvements on the campus and new buildings, and we feel that Superintendent Jackson is indeed qualified in every way for his position to lead us on in these improvements. This dedication is to serve as our tribute to our new Super- intendent, H. L. Jackson. 3 rfdnU ti6 iati tot (Left to right) H. L. Jackson, Supt.; R. B.
