Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1960 volume:

THE DAWSONIAN presented by THE SENIOR CLASS of I960 ALMA MATER On the city's eastern border. Reared against the sky, Stands our dear old Alma Mater, As the years roll by. Forward! Forward! be our Watchword, conquer and prevail; Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Dawson High All Hail! DEDICATION TO Past, Present and Future The graduating Seniors of 1960 will some- day look back in the past through these pages, seeing old friends, remembering the good times and the bad times when they were part of our school. May the years at Dawson High School go on as they have in the past, not only turning out a better brand of American but bringing to those who are yet to come a love for our school. On this, the school's 51st Anniversary we dedicate our yearbook to the graduates, the graduating, and those who are yet to come: a dedication to the PAST, the PRESENT, and the FUTURE. M E E T MRS.
