Bayard Taylor EDUWMM DEDICATION In creating this annual, our memory book of Four years ot'work and fun. we. the Class 0! I954. dedicate all our combined efforts on this bookeour greatest accomp- lishment as a classeto Adele Losh and Bill Swisshelmaour two stars of inspiration. We lost Adele and Bill. two unforgettable personalities. near the beginning of our junior year. They had participated in many activities throughout their Freshman and sophomore years and added an extra bit of zest to our many class undertakings. Adele was our class secretary and our representative on the cheerleading squad. Bill played on the football and basketball squads. Co-operotfveness. sincerity. kind- ness, and cheertu!ness were iust a few of the characteristics of their wonderful per- sonolitiese Since Our class has olwoys been small, we usually have been able to agree on most decisions. Then with the death of these two dearlywloved friends. we seemed to knit even closer together. 05 shown by the success of all that We undertook as c: class. Like good troupers of the theater. we knew the show had to go on. Through the hard times and good times of parties. clubs, sports. lessons, and graduation activities we have all realized that Adele and Bill have been a port of our performances. ; tickii.;isif.rz And Then There Were Thirty-Five Sequence of Production Page DIRECTORS OF THE DRAMA ..... . , .. .......... 6 Superintendent ..... .... 7 ,, . ., ...... 8 Board of Education ..... . . 7 ................. 8 Principal ........................... - .2. 9 Secretary .......................... .......9 rPRODUCERS ............... . ............ ..2. .
