UEUIC w,,, rv Nur, With heartfelt gratitude and appreciation, we, the Studen t Body of Ignacio High School, dedicate this yearbook to our former Superintendent, MR, CHESTER A, WAY. Through his untiring efforts from 1946 to August 1948, the five school Districts were united to become District 11. Under his guidance, the building that we proudly call L H, S, became a reality in 1950. Though Mr. Way is no longer with us, we believe that this building and this dedication will remain a permanent memorial to him. HTIDN
