fbecfcafzbn We, the Den Staff of 1956, dedicate this book to the Board of Education in appreciation for the unselfish time and effort that they have given to our student body in providing us the advantages of an excellent school system. We know that our school could not have moved forward without a pro- gressive school board, who has spent long hours in planning our educational opportunities. And so it is with the greatest of pleasure that we show our appreciation for a job well done by dedicating THE 1956 DEN to our Board of Education.
