G. E. MYRICK We, the Sregit staff, wish to dedicate the 1955 yearbook to Mr. G. E. Myrick. Because of his Christian leadership and school loyalty, Mr. Myrick is an inspiration to the students he associates with year in and year out. Many of his industrial education pupils have become teachersg many boys he coach- ed have become coaches. His guidance has influenced girls and boys whom he knew in homerooms and in classes he has sponsored. To you, Mr. Myrick, the Sregit staff wishes all the luck and happiness due such a Christian gentleman. sofwo or S v L u an D K . .
