Hi a iecciio KGHUR SUHIOO1. In the superintendent's oiice hangs a framed document which repre- sents the beginning of our Senior High School. It is our charter, dated December 16, 1929. Since that time our school has seen many improve- ments. The music department has progressed rapidly. In 1929, the band was made up of only twenty-four members: this year there are about sixty uni- formed musicians. Now there is a vested chorus instead of two glee clubs. In 1929 there were only eighteen in the orchestra, and the school owned no instruments. With the new building has come an increased interest in clubs and social activities. Dramatics have prospered so well that now there is a very large, active organization. Debate and public speaking clubs have become important parts of our school life. The Art club has grown and expanded into many new fields, metal craft, puppets, and weaving. The G. A. A. has proved to be a great success as have several new organizations. The literary branch of our school has been rounded out by the publication of our magazine, The Gray Griffin . The rooms have improved as they have become adapted to their re- spective subjects. They have assumed that certain air which accompanies those subjects and instructors. Bookcases overflowing with references, bulletin board displays, and pictures show the improvements which have pervaded our institution with time and the devotion of individuals. page ffm

page four 1936 W. A. RIDER Dedicatee DEDICATION Memories and acquaintances are wonderful assets, especially when they are woven into a pattern of school life that will always be remem- bered. One of the most outstanding acquaintances of the class of 1936 is Mr. W. A. Rider, commercial teacher of the Senior High School. Since we en- tered this building as Sophomores, Mr. Rider has helped us as a class in all of our undertakings. His cheery smile and kindly manner were an in- spiration to the many pupils who asked him for guidance. Selected by the class to be a class sponsor during the Junior year, he proved invaluable as an aide at that time. His work on various commit- tees helped to make the J unior-Senior Prom the success that it was. As one of our sponsors in the Senior year, he again was an interested bene- factor, giving counsel and guidance to the officers in class problems. But not only as a class sponsor has his influence been felt. His teach- ing in the commercial department has been highly beneficial to all con- cerned. In recognition of his work for both class and school welfare, we, the class of 1936, wish to bestow upon him the highest honor that is in our power to grant. We dedicate this annual, the Hi-Echo for 1936, to Mr. W. A. Rider.
