ptedmtucstratiou PRINCIPAL, MR. E. L. JUSTUS, whose service to Flat Rock students has been given with gen- vine devotion. Mr. Justus has helped us whole- heartedly in all our extra-curricular activities. We have seen the midnight oil burning brightly in his office innumerable times, and we all know why his Studebaker has seen its best days. His encouragement, his untiring efforts to make us happy, and his willingness to lend us his guidance, merit our sincere appreciation. Faculty Here are the ones who instruct us. From 8:30 A.M. till 3:30 P.M. they seek to give us knowledge in many different fields—and to help us build character that will make us better citizens for our community and nation. We, the students, would like to say so. many nice things; but here are two words which are an attempt to express our feelings—THANK YOU. MRS. CATHERINE M. CRAWFORD is our very efficient instructor in French and also one of our eighth grade teachers. Her courteous ways often get a French flavor— Excusez- moi.” Page Six

Dedication His rugged, kindly face is known to millions. His deep, melodious voice is heard in all the lands of the world. The poor and the humble of the world love him; the great and the powerful pay him homage. But to us he is more than the famous man of letters. He is our neighbor and our friend. Since he moved to his home, “just across the way”, he has talked with us, has sung for us, and has read many of his own poems for us. He has told us that we are his school. He has helped us immeasurably in the preparation of this book. He has given us freely of his valuable time. Because of him this issue of the Parade will be very highly cherished by everyone who owns a copy. Those who turn these pages and see the pictures of him, posed with our own boys and girls in his home, will surely realize that his greatness is not alone in his works of literature. These pictures show a different kind of greatness—a greatness of soul, which gives him the ability to make the young folks feel comfortable and at home in his presence. So, wtih gratitude for the privilege of knowing him, we dedicate the 1956 PARADE TO CARL SANDBURG. Page Five
