Hornbeck High School - Hornet Yearbook (Hornbeck, LA)

Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1958 volume:

'Dedication Out of many, there is always one who thinks only of helping others and forgets his own comforts and desires. Because she can be counted on in time of need; Because she has given so much unselfishly, and received so little recognition; Because of her genuine interest in us as students and individuals, we dedicate this annual to our own—MRS. IRENE BURLISON. --STAFF ;' • Principal’s Messape This issue of the HORNET depicts in picture and print many of the experiences you have enjoyed this year. The administration and the faculty sincerely hope that in the years to come the HORNET will en- able you to relive these events with pleasure. I wish to thank the editor, staff, and faculty whose untiring and successful efforts have produced this annual. It is indeed worthy of the school in every respect. Sincerely, W. S. McGraw, Principal T T- � r X !'— i j | ■ ■rf 1 i r Superintendent s Message Congratulations to the staff, their sponsors and to the many individuals who have made contributions toward the publication of this yearbook. May the pictorial scenes in this annual help you remember with enjoyment your school days, the pleas- ant associations with classmates and teachers, and help you to find inspiration to continue worthwhile activities. My wish is that your future will be so planned and lived that the important experiences of your life will bring you both honor and satisfaction.
