 j£)edica tion We, the students of Corunna High School, with deepest sympathy iand respect would like to dedicate this 1952 volume of the Sphinx to Attorney James Allan Quayle. Attorney Quayle was prominent in all civic affairs, and was, at the time of his death, City Attorney of Corunna. Aside from his profession, Mr. Quayle was very active in educational circles and in fraternal organizations. He served twelve years on the Cor- unna Board of Education, holding the offices of President and Secretary- Treasurer. He also was Presidentof the County Board of Education in 1951. While amember of the Board, he was noted for being a strong advocate of decentralization and believed that the community's responsibility was to maintain th eir own school and often took issue with those who were attempt- ing to consolidate the local districts into large centrally controlled units. In fraternal organizations he was a member of Corunna Lodge No. 115, F. A. M.; the Corunna Chapter No. 33, R. A. M.; Owosso Commandery No. 49, Knights Templar; and the Elf Khurofeh Temple at Saginaw. Corunna High School may be proud of this graduate, and present-day students may look upon his life as an example of fine Christian living. 3
