DEDICATIO Mrs. DEDIERIN G We,the Student Body, dedicate this Tigerette to you, Leone Deder- ing, our Home Economics teacher. In your four years of service at Chilton High, you have extended your sincere friendship to all. Every student, whether in Home Economics class or not, could come to you for advice, which you gave willingly and with a smile. The FHA prospered under your efficient guidance, and many of us received compliments because of you. This organization required many of your summer hours, which you gave to us freely. The annual FHA trip,with a group of sixty noisy girls, met with your approval because of your personality and great understanding, which has helped to make you a wonderful and successful teacher. So,to you, Leone Dedering, we dedicate this annual, as our way of showing our many thanks to you. 3

QCHILTO HIGH SCHOOL His seat was by a window. So he dreamed. How could he study while the sunlight gleamed In small, sweet shapes, like wild things tame enough To dart to him and touch his hands for love ? While there were profiles carved in every cloud To mark as grim or ludicrous or proud, And agile shadowings to writhe and crawl Like ghostly spiders up and down the wall, He could not help but turn their way to look. His eyes, that would not follow down his book The muddy trudgings of deliberate words, Reflected blue and silver flights of birds. You would not think there was so much to trace Of wonderment on just a window space. But once, when a frail scrap of paper moon Enchanted him from ten o'clock till noon, They moved him to the middle of the room. He learned his lesson then for very gloom, Until, came glowing to a near-by chair, A little girl with sunset in her hair. His soul recolored. The forlorn dreams came To warm themselves once more at this new flame. He pushed aside the dusty Greek. He had A different way to read the Iliad. While through cold ashes others groped to learn, He lit the towers of Troy and saw them burn. V Winifred Welles 2

A IN ISTRATIO - .r 2 Arvie W. Gordon Superintendent X No matter what other outstanding incidents take place in the remainder of this school year, one event will never be for- gotten. It was during this school year that the Russians put their sputniks into their orbits around the earth. The inevitable conclusionis that we have witnessedthe entry of mankind into the space age. In reflecting on the significance ofthis rapid pace of events, one can not help but be struck by the increasing quickening of civilization's scientific and technological progress. During the last 50 years man has advanced from the horse and buggy age through the automobile age, the airplane age, and now we are entering the space age. It took the htunan race thou- sands of years to progress as far as the simple horse and buggy. Then, in a period of 50 years we have made more technical progress than in the thousands of years previous. 4 Earl J. Anderson Principal 1 A Reasonable people, in grasping the significance of the course of these events cannot help but be struck by the need for more and better education for its young people to prepare them as adequately as possible for life in our future civiliza- tion. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are going to be no longer sufficient for preparing tomorrow's leaders and citizens for the life that will face them. It should be clear that the swift pace of civilization is likely to continue to progress faster and faster. At least there is no signs of it slackening. Those who are still going to be in high school for one or more years still have achance to become more serious in pre- paring for the future here at Chilton High.School. Those of you who are being graduated would do yourselves a gre at favor by trying to attain the most education of which you are capable. Best wishes, E. J. Anderson
