A major part of these years is spent in the process of procuring for ourselves an education. While so doing we come intc contact with many people, organizations, and activities. With this in mind the 1959 Elk staff has prepared this book, hoping that it will afford you a glimpse into your school life which you will treasure now and in years to come. 5 mr.

We’ll miss familiar halls and faces, Favorite studies and well-known places; We hope to leave behind some traces. Of our work done here. Opportunities lie ahead For those of us who seek To carry on and not to dread The challenges we meet. As we go on our separate way. May each of us live every day As we were taught here in this school. With every lesson and every rule. Wanda Settle, Poet Class of ’59 26 Belvin Louise Adams F.H.A. 2, 3, Parliamentarian 3; D.E.
