TROJAN 3 We, the Journalism Club of Homer High School, would like to pay special tribute to Mr. Guy Putnam who has served on our school board for twenty-five years, and serving the last eighteen of these as Secretary. It is men like Mr. Putnam and other members of the board that we may thank for our fine education and the future education they are building for others who are to follow us. We would also like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to the other members of the board and to Mr. aae for the fine training we have received during our years in high school. The last two years, they, as well as we, have been handicapped by existing conditions; but have stuck cy us at every turn and always provided the things we have needed to carry on.
