Irwin County High School - Chieftain Yearbook (Ocilla, GA)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1956 volume:

1956 foreword In days to come we hope that this book will grow in value. Many years from now, you will leaf through this 1956 Annual and recall various experiences in high school. Many of them will be brought to life by the sight of an old friend’s face. We on the Annual Staff sincerely hope that the 1956 Chief- tain will help you relive your high school days. May it bring you joy on a reminiscent night in the future. We also hope that it will bind you closer to your friends, that they may not be for- gotten later on. We would like to thank all the faculty, students and friends who helped us to make this book possible. Now we present to you students and faculty of Irwin County High, your 1956 Annual. OMIE JEAN PAUL SYLVIA JACKSON Editors To one, who, because of his untiring sense of responsibility, his sincere interest in all school endeavors and activities, his Christian influence, his desire to constantly improve and advance Irwin County High, and all his many virtues in general, we, the Seniors of 1956 do sincerely dedicate this Annual to Mr. Ben- nett Hanna.
