DEDICATICDN The annual staff is exceedingly proud to dedicate this book to its sponsors. Upon looking up the word annual in Webster's dictionary we believe it is very correct in giving the definition as yearly , but we don't think it quite tells the full story when it gives the meaning of spon- sor as t'backer . The Diamond Drill sponsors have given us endless ideas, steered us away from unwise decisions, and carried a great deal of the responsibilities on their shoulders. We, as an annual staff, realize that without their guiding influence the Bonne Terre Yearbook would not be what it is today. So, as a very small token of our sincere thanks for their ceaseless help and untiring patience, and as a complete surprise to them, we gratefully dedicate this, the 1950 Diamond Drill, to Miss Opal Collins and Mr. Wayne Wood.
