Dedication We, the class of 1955, sincerely dedicate this Hematite to our former classmate, Nancy Peterson, who passed away January 10, 1955. Besides being a good student, Nancy, better known as Pete, was also active in many school and church activities. She took part in Girl Scouts, Red Peppers, Latin Club, Tumbling Club, Drama Club, Job’s Daughters, Tuxis Society, and the Church Choir. Because she was always friendly to everyone, Nancy will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Foreword This annual has been edited for the purpose of restoring the fond memories of our former teachers and classmates. In future years, many happy days may be relived by an occasional thumbing through the pages of this yearbook. For a teacher the satisfaction of feeling one has had a real part in molding fine characters, minds and personalities of young men and women in high school is one of the greatest rewards he can have. For a student no pleasure surpasses that of knowing, when school days are over, that his job has been well done. Let us then work together, faithfully and sincerely in order that both teacher and student may complete their tasks with satisfaction and pride.

R. Ernest Dear SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS We, the class of 1955, would like to pay tribute to our friend and superintendent, Mr. Dear, who has been our principal for our first two years and superintendent for our last two years. He has aided us from the time we were Freshmen and Sophomores, getting us acquainted with our school. In our last two years he has been a very busy man with his new job, but he still had our interest at heart and we shall always remember him for his cheerfulness and patience. Mr. Dear has been high school principal from 1932 to 1953. He was assistant superintendent 4 in 1952-1953. In 1953 he became Superintendent of Schools.
