7 e Sfeoctdo ' ui ’TTteA zae Ah, but a man ' s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for? - Robert Browning These words written by one of England’s most distinguished poets, are exemplary of a dream put into actuality. For more than several years the administration, faculty, and graduating classes have been desirous of publishing a Yearbook; not until this year, through strength and optimism, our hopes and aspirations shaped into a material realization. According to available records our school has been in operation - doing some type of high school work in this county for a period of forty-five years. It appears that the first full fledged high school graduated in 1915. This means that there has been a total of forty graduating classes during the period mentioned. The year 1954 was an exception, as we were reaching the climax of a twelve-year system, which had been inaugurated and in operation since 1950. Thus, we had no graduating class in 1954. The present endeavor is of special significance to us, and we hope to you. The reach of the Seniors of 1956 has far exceeded their grasp, and it is our anxious desire that the precedent has been so deeply imbedded that it will be followed by the classes in the years to come. We, as sponsors, especially wish to extend sincere thanks to all who helped to make this, our first edition of THE BULLDOG, a success.
