W . We, the Class of 1956, proudly and happily dedicate the 1956 Compass to you, Mr. john Ahlin, the master painter. It will be your high standards, your teachings, both classroom and those in life, that will guide us as we make our way into the World. We will never forget your Warm smile, friendly hand, and kind words. With the hope that our lives will paint the same type of picture that yours has painted, we leave Grafton High with high goals for the future.

The picture will not be on canvas but X . in other people's minds . . . a living record of i you. To us, as Seniors, lies the task of painting that picture. We will use the lessons and ex- , periences we have known at Grafton High as l our guiding hand. l The Faculty and Administration are the art teachers, giving us the necessary base and lines to use. From these teachers we have found one master, and have i paid tribute to him. We will never be able to repay all the kindnesses and favors to the staff, but we will be a mirror of their teachings. Color is also needed in a fine painting, so it is important that we include in our picture activities, sports, club, and other extracurricula. The underclass- men are the student artists, learning still what tools they are to use later on. Advertising is another part of our book. This too is imperative. We need backers and supporters in all endeavors of life. This theme has fit in well I believe, with our objectives, and we depart to paint our masterpiece in life.
