That is why we, the Senior Class of 1975, proudly dedicate our yearbook to one who has shown a great interest in us and the school, MR. EDWARD RILEY © €D] CAT He's shown his interest by help- ing our class with the Jr. -Senior Prom, serving as our varsity basketball coach, and always being there as a guidance counselor. In years past he's served, as our principal, teacher, and assistant coach, but we know him for his great leadership talent and his kindness and consideration for others. THANK YOU MR. RILEY, FOR PUTTING FORTH A GREAT EFFORT IN MAKING SCHOOL A BETTER PLACE TO BE! j | | The class of 1975 would like to thank you for the interest you have taken in the school and our class by giving you this token of remembrance, ''IN APPRECIATION.'' Whenever we needed anything you were always in the office or the bookstore, or taking money at the ballgames - doing something for us, and we THANK YOU for always being there. | Frances Alkire In Appreciation ADMINISTRATION Tenderly now let all men turn to the earth Nancy Newhall OUR SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU FOR ESTABLISHING THE STUDENT COUNCIL, GIRLS' TRACK TEAM AND GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM.

The oak dies down to the ground, leaving within its rind a rich virgin mould, which will impart a vigorous life to an infant forest.
