JACKSON LOCAL SCHOOL, RFD 5, UNION CITY, INDIANA THE JACKSONIAN OF 1955 Editor--Max Stickelman Business Manager--Ted Strait Photographers—Pat Riegel and Gary Murphy Advertising Manager--Kenny Buzard Layout—Max Warner Yearbook Advisor--Gene R. Bennett OLIVER FUNERAL HOME 24 Hour Service Phone 24 Ansonia, Ohio Dedication Today the United Nations is recognized as being the most active organization for world peace that mankind has yet seen fit to establish. We, the class of 1955, wish to dedicate this yearbook to the United Nations Organization and in so doing intend for this to be a vote of con- fidence to these men and women who give so freely in the cause of world peace. Although no one organization can guarantee world peace, the ideals and principles repre- sented by the United Nations can and must direct men's minds toward better human relations.
