This is our wish for the Class of 1949. cd MRS. ROMAYNE BUCKLEY Secretary MR. JAMES DUDLEY Assistant Principal Let's talk it ovei onli ., f EM ................

As a school senses its re- sponsibility for the all-around growth and development of the youth of its community, road refinements become absolutely necessary. They are the service stations along the road. It is a basic social principle that there is a place in a really democratic Board of Education
