Dedication Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to driver easy to govem, but impossible to enslave. We, the students of Hoopeston High School in the school year 1956-1957, have the honor and privi- lege of being the first to attend a new school. The people of our community, led by the school board, have erected a beautiful building for us and for those who follow in our footsteps. We have seen the edifice take form as it grew, brick by brick. We have watched with pride and sat- isfaction, as the master craftsman surveys his work of art. But we must realize that buildings alone do not make a schoolg they are only the body that houses the soul of the school system--the students. As such, it is our opportunity and duty to carry over the tradition of honor and service which we cherished at John Greer High. Nothing has changed except our immediate surroundings, and we cannot count that as a loss. Rather, let us prove to the world and to ourselves as well, that we are capable of meeting the challenge before us in a new environment. Let us pledge our service to our alma mater through the words of the Hoopeston High School Loyalty song, written by I anis Reetz. Hear this song we sing to praise our school and varsity, Knowing it will lead them forward to a victory. Rah! Rah! Rah! To our colors we will be true Blue and white we'll fight hard 1 for you, Love, faith, and loyalty to pledge to you Hoopeston High. ffinej ---Band--- Hoopeston High fights fairl ---Band--- Hoopeston High fights square! And since we do, we want you to: KD. C. al finej .we, the Picayune staffs, on behalf of the students, dedicate not only this book, but ourselves and our school as well, not to posterity, but to humanity.
