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.

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.
