DEDICATION HE strides into the dassrom, a striped tic flap- ping over his shoulder and a glad-you-could- make-it smile welcoming us. To this man, Mr. David Parker, we dedicate the 1965 Vista. For Mr. Parker has instilled within us a deep regard for the dignity of man. His confidence in our worth as individuals and in our ability to think intelligently has involved us in the crucial issues of our country's development. Knowing that Mr. Parker acts on his beliefs in jus- tice and freedom has aroused our social consciousness and our sense of responsibility for mankind. He works directly with the more active and concerned students as the sponsor of the Civil Rights Com- mittee. Outside the realms of politics and history, he finds enjoyment in athletics and music. As an avid skier, he can do anything an expert can do—christy, put weight on the uphill ski, and waddle. Stemming, perhaps, from his interest in America's history, he plays a folk guitar and banjo, and sponsors the school's Folk Club. It is to honor Mr. Parker as a teacher and as a man that we take this opportunity to express our appreciation for what he has given us. 5

We shall watch your progress with in- terest and hope you will return to see us. Ruel E. Tucker Principal MY congratulations go to the various editors of this book. ■ They have worked hard during the year to produce a volume that would present in pictures and in words some of the outstanding events of this school year. As time goes by, you will look back and treasure it more and more. Like so many other endeavors, this one is the work of many people who have given generously of their time. There have been those who have typed all the words you will read. There are those who sold the book. Others have worked late to take pictures of school events. It is the many that need our thanks. They have contrib- uted their time and their talent to make this issue of the Vista a success. Let us give a cheer to the many w'ho have followed di- rections and made the various editors com- plete their tasks on schedule. My best wishes to the Class of 196V May they find success and happiness in their future. 7 Mr. Chari.es A. Maier Assistant Principal
