DEDICAI IOh We the Senior Class of 1951-52 wish to dedicate thisannualto the future classesof Flippin High School. The picture above is the front exterior of the new building. It houses rooms that are cheerful with pas- tel colored walls, many windows that let in the bright sunshine, and even heat. You may not recognize the picture at the left as the front of the boiler in the heating system. It takes the place of many pot-bellied stoves which were too hot as you stood near them and let you freeze only a few feet away. Now we have regulated heat in both grade school and high school. Tothe classes to come who will have the privilege of studying in this modern building, we extend our wishes for many happy schooldays'. -

Superintendent William E. Hayes, Superintendent of Schools, looks quite pleased in his new office. He has a right to be happy after the long hours of worry over losing the high school building last year and the con- struction of a modern plant this past sum- mer. Superintendent Hayes is a graduate of Arkansas College and received his mas- ter' s degree from the University of Arkan- sas. This business of checking records looks to be a serious undertaking as Charles M. Wison, High School Principal, and Mr. Hayes study the new permanent re- cord. Just to the left and forward from this desk is a fireproof vault which protects such records as these. The fire consumed all past records but the new build- ing looks to the future...to many years of housing school children without fear of destruction by fire. Mr. Hayes will tell you that one of the happiest days of his life was December 31, 1951, the day school was interrupted to move into the new building. Schoo | Board Much of the worry and sleepless nights fell on the school board as they worked to replace the charred ruins. Now, they can point with pride to the centrally heated, well lighted school building that was only a faint dream a few months ago. The board members are: E. L. Hud- dleston, President; Gus McCracken, Ralph Wood, J. B. Osborn, and Durwood Sanders.
