The annual staff has in these few pages tried to capture some part of the work, the play, the seriousness and the gaiety which have made our high school days a magic time. We hope that as you turn through the pages of the 1960 EAGLE in the years to come, it will bring joy. We would like to thank the Merchants and Friends for their cooperation in making this annual possible. The association we have had with them has been a real pleasure. To our beloved teachers we say, Thanks for your patience with the staff and for your gracious attitude toward making our EAGLE a success. l I1 V seg- 1oLu9Lu 9111 19Ae1oJ1 qsuaqo Ueqs QM JO doog 910 leap U9 go 1sou1 pun same .ITIO OUU I I noq Iooqos q Iq .mo 1 3 IF 'ISS sueq papmolo 91.11 19 Jog JQAQL Ueqs QM M sql pews Olll U1 Lump SJU:-9 LD SSS? 9 ' SSHQLU L13 1:19 SO DSS IO sro sa HPC! on mq S S1 Jadoog 31151 I I ll 10 q o Ipymq yooqos U HO KES uom MOH K ,..I -v-4: Qeogcafzbn 7 0 Our jjczren fs Whose guiding hands have led us throughout our high school careerg whose sound advice has given us encouragement to achieve many things that we have undertaken, we dedicate this issue of the Eagle to you.

There were ideas and dreams, Just as worth while as it seems, lt was we who promised to do, With our hearts pure and stainless, And our lives long and painless, Now that we've started to the end of our goal. A school door open wide, And a teacher by our side, As we trotted that long lonesome road, Now all we ask is a DIPLOMA for our task Now that we've reached the end of our goal.
