EDUCATION MUST HAVE A PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM The foundation of any high school consists of the elementary and junior high schools which provide basic training in preparation for higher education. Without adequate training in the vitally important years preceding high school and college, the student cannot acquire the fullest measure of learning Which is imperative in today's rapidly developing economy. LaGrange Senior High depends upon the elementary and junior high schools of District 22 to provide this basic training. During the past fifteen years the educational plants of this district have grown from one to fourteen. Each student enrolled in the other thirteen schools is a potential student of LaGrange Senior High. The Resume Staff chose as this year's theme the growth of educational facilities in District 22 as a tribute to the school and the persons responsible for them.

First, the activities of the year were re-lived as participating members of the faculty told of some important events of the year. Next, the students who had been selected by their classmates as the most repre- sentative in many categories, were presented. The finale of this being the announce- ment of two very lucky people, Mr. and Miss LaGrange. Mary Ashburn was se- lected as Miss LaGrange, while Donald Breaux was elected Mr. LaGrange. Mr. Mims was then presented to announce the dedication of the Resume. Two very surprised, but happy teachers made their Way to the stand to receive their yearbooks. Mrs. Clarence Pruitt, a retired teacher of LaGrange, was one recipient. The other was Mr. E. D. Parrish, long-time teacher of American History at La- Grange. The program ended with a great surpriseg the entire cover of the 1958 Resume was devoted to a gorgeous color photograph of the school. After the program, the students went to their homerooms where they received their yearbooks. The rest of the afternoon was spent in signing Resumes.
