Foreword If out of the pages of this book march the memories of the romances, the friendships formed, the athletic victories, the little things of big importance, and if in the years to come this book will fan into flames the dying embers of these memories, and enable ' you to recall and relive the happy hours of 195A-55, it I will have served its purpose. The Staff Bob Staiger wmssm Ass't. Editor Loy Puffinbarger NQSA Advertising Ronnie Hodgson Robert Dowell S h t Sports Editor naps o s Board Of Education E C Nossaman, Clerk C H Dowell, President Wayne Guffy, Member Dear Friends: I am proud to be a teacher! I believe that I am helping to produce the only usecret weaponn that can conquer our enemies and keep us the greatest nation on the earth Our greatest hope is not the atom bomb, but the millions of boys and girls like those whose names and faces appear in this volume-boys and girls who have been taught to THINK intelligently, FEAR GOD, LOVE and TOLERATE their neighbors, and WORK HARD and unselfishly. When education has produced citizens like this, we need never to fear for our future. Sincerely, Charles Lewis Superintendent les Lewis, Super t d nt A N Faculty N .YQQ 33 mg?
