As a means of thanking Mr. Alden L.. Kittredge for his five years of teaching and hard work, we wish to dedicate our 1953 Bobcat to him. We are grateful for his enthusiasm and encouragement at times when our zeal was gone. He has done a great deal of work with Dramatics and English. We hope that he will remain teaching at Myrtel Point Union High School. 3

 Student (J3odi ...1924 to 195 On February 25, 1924, twelve districts came together to form a Union High School in Myrtle Point. Since 1949, ten additional districts have consolidated with the Union High School, doubling both the area and the assessed valuation. In 1924, there were about 125 students enrolled in our high school. Today, we have an average daily attendance of 311. About 70% of these students are transports. Eight busses are employed in transporting them from Sitkum, Catching Creek, Arago, Broadbent, Remote, Bridge, and McKinley. The cost per student in 1951-52 was $363. 77, a reduction of $30 per student from the previous year. This reduction was due to increased student population. Since our school is relatively small, we have a student body which is closely knit in spirit and friendship.
