The Physical Education Department is proud to be t s ow upon Dorothy the title of Who's Who in Physical Education. 515 'F

Our class ring is something sa- cred and has been to ev e ry Gastonite who has worn it. May this feeling remain throughout the ye ars t o come and may each look fo rw a r d with pride and happy antici- pation to his c l a s s ring an d Senior year.
