And this year, there are cer- tainly a lot of people who deserve a hatful of gratitude for their part in compiling our l94'7 ANNUAL. First, on the top of the list, Miss jesse Boone. With- out her patience, time, and neverending work, our '47 yearbook might never have been. Special honors should go to Miss Welch and her commercial department, Mrs. johnson, Don Allen, and the rest of the Art Department, for all their help and co- operationg also to the entire annual staff, especially Donna Smith and Carolyn Brown, business managers, Doris -Ann Dunlap, photographer and to our senior editor, Shirley Middleton. ' To our patrons, and to all the faculty and student body who have helped in any way, we can just say, Thanks a million for helping us have our Messick High Annual.
