But later on we understood why it was done. In turning the pages of the yearbook you may think some things are not for the best, but maybe you at later see it the way we saw it while compiling the annual. . ) In our attempts to preserve the hopes and treasured memories of this school year, we sincerely hope you will enjoy and treasure this volume throughout the future. The Editor Loe Pw, s) ES DEDICATION Through these few years that Mr. Brown has led us on the right path to being good citizens, he has helped make many changes for the better. Under his leadership we have had many troubles and enjoyed many wonderful accomplishments. In appreciation of his help and leadership we very proudly dedicate this volume of ‘‘The Gladiator’’ to Mr. H. A. Brown. ADMINISTRATION Board ai Education DUEL PRICE CHARLES HEARN President Secretary Other Members of the Board H..Ds Ward Ray Clyde Mauldin Wendell Wolaver Floyd Green Buster Doyle The Board of Education has worked faithfully to bring about many improvements in our school. Especially do we owe them a vote of thanks this year for making it possible for us to have the new gymnasium. To these men who have given freely of their time and efforts to secure for us the many advantages that the school offers, we express our deepest appreciation. H. A.
