DEDICATION JOHN CLARK We, the students of CHS, dedicate the 1950 Beachcomber to the memory of John Clark. He would have been among the graduating class this year, but now he is far beyond us all. There will always be with us the memory of a quiet, smiling, sports-loving boy, who won the friendship of all by his unassuming ways.
