Foreword If we believe in the worth of the individual, in fair com etition, that every man has a right to choose his future occupation andoprepare for it, that our public schools are dedicated to the proposition of de- veloping each student to his fullest capacity--if we believe in de- mocracy and wish to preserve these things--we must find ways to strengthen ourrposition in the world today. Because another country achieves a scientific goal before we do, it does not necessarily mean we must adopt its way of life. I would like to suggest that you take stock of yourselves, tighten your belts, practice self-control and self denial, develop your abilities to their fullest degree, and take a new ioy in living in America. Prove to the world that free men and women everywhere can compete by assuming responsibilities themselves instead of having them imposed by some higher authority. d You can do it--you must do it--if our free way of life is to en- ure. MI, LCWJS S. Markham Dedication Mrs. Virginia Frank Mr. D. C. Burnett Mrs. Frank and Mr. Burnett have been more than teachers to the Class of 1958. Mrs. Frank spent much of her time and patience at our play rehearsals for two years. ln addition, she was our class advisor during our Junior year. Mrs. Frank was a ways ready with advice or suggestions for our prom and other events. Mr. Burnett has done a great deal for some of us who sought experience or help in choosing the proper col- lege or career. English classes were sometimes converted into discussions where we learned about college life and what would be expected of us. Mr. Burnett was also our Junior class advisor and gave many hours of his time helping with the Junior Prom and other class activities. We wish to thank these teachers and to express our gratitude by dedicating to them the 1958 HILTORIAL. 3

5 il 2 is Board Gt Education Mr. William Beadling, President Mrs. Dorothy Burritt, Clerk Mrs. Margaret Baxter Mrs. Dorothy Damschroder Mr. Robert Izard Mr. Fred Jenneiahn Mr. Joseph Hull Mr. Merton Williams With the continual rise in the school's population in me last few years, the Board of Education is faced with a tremendous task. Finding adequate room for all the students is only one of their problems. Transportation and numerous other facilities cause difficulties that have to be solved. This year the Board has held special meet- ings, formed many committees, and spent hours talking and planning--all to meet these inadequacies. We can certainly be proud of the Board members and the work which has resulted in a beautiful and modern school system. N X l . Administration a T H , 'li X i groom N X l 1 ,Ki rm 1 Q. s t--i.
