Administration Joseph G. Wolber Orvil F. Heft Garner Bowlby Franklin Frey Principal Assistant Principal Principal, Summer School Principal, Summer School Robert C. Branton Counselor Vernon Daniels Counselor Louis Jennings Counselor The high school years are among lifeis most enjoyable. They should be. Nature deals out generous portions of physical strength, mental curiosity and moral courage to the growing teen-ager. The enthusiasm of youth needs only to be channeled to produce superlative results. The story of the high school years is admirably told in picture-book form in each high school yearbook. That is the real purpose of the publication. The efforts of the yearbook staff are directed toward one goal! The finest and most complete record of the current roster of pupils, and more especially of the January and June 1955 graduates, that the editors and other staff members can produce. To them and their sponsor, our thanks and appreciation for a job well done. A job that will be treasured by each graduate over the years to come. J. G. Wolber Principal Helen Becker Viola Kelly Counselors Pictures not available .5.
