I therefore believe it is my duty to my coun- try to love itg to support its constitutiong to obey its lawsg to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies. -W'ii.r.1AM TYLER PAGE Page Six

We have attempted to record the stories of four classes, not just one, in the hope that the future AMETHYSTS Will follow our example and he Deering High School yearbooks, not Senior Annuals. Will our readers please forgive any mistakes We may have made. If hard Work means excellence then this volume should be perfect, but man's Work is never perfection, so We can only hope that you will enjoy these pages as much as We have enjoyed the making of them. :- f 'fell Jil
