We, the members of the Annual Staff, sincerely hope that you have enjoyed looking at the material on the preceding pages. We are indeed sorry that we were unable to present pictures of the school paper, the Mirror and its staff, sponsored by Mrs. Margaret Galbreath. The Mirror, a member of the National Scholastic Press Association since last fall, has been ranked as Second Class CGoodJ by the Critical Service or the National Scholastic Press Association. This is an excellent record. The sponsor and the staff are to be congratulated. Another group organized this year was the Future Farmers of America, sponsored by Mr. Durward Stanislawsky. This group has furthered the interests of the school. Other activities not shown are the Camera Club, sponsored by Mr. H. E. West and the Tap Club, sponsored by Miss Roberta Wheeler. The Tap Club entertained the student body at a special assembly. DALLAS TEXAS jd YEARBOOK A LITHOG-RAPHED i I 3 ..-.J 5 I f I 4
