We dedicate this annual as a token of our sincere gratitude for your untiring efforts and constantdevotion to the every need of beginning pupils. Our realization of the personal interest in each pupil comes in later years. When the fortunate pupils are installed in the National Honor Society, they realize that you, as a teacher, have gone beyond the call of duty to fulfill our many needs. We thank you for the help received as a teacher and friend in scholastic work, National Honor Society, and other school events. . -mv 3.5. . ' if-Wi?

Harriet Lindsey SENIOR OF THE MONTH Here we have another important figure on the Mena High campus. We need not introduce him. -You immediately recognize the, broad smile -of Jerry Masters. Jerry was born October 22, 1939. He is the oldest of five children .and not very big at phat. Jerry attended Central school six years. After ,finishing the sixth grade, he entered Junior A High school and completed the eighth this making him ready for our Mena High. Since entering Mena High school Jerry has been a very popular boy. I believe most of the girls go for Crip, too. His wonderful disposition bag made him an outstanding figure in our school. Jerry has been a member of the Student council for 'four years, the fourth year of which he served as parliamentarian. He alsohaisheenametnberoftlzelleareat football squad two years, the must popular boy his senior year, and vici president 1 the Senior class. Jerry doesn't have qny tavorii pastime.
