Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1955 volume:

We, the Senior Class of 1955, in appreciation of the services ren- dered by Mrs. Mable Moody in her untiring efforts in the field of science; and to Mr. Ernest Grubb in his splendid coaching techniques, humbly dedicate this yearbook to them hoping that it will serve in a small way to show our admira- tion to them in their unselfish cooperation and dynamic leader- ship.
