PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Dear Students, Six times a year we go through the report cards and prepare an Honor Roll. Each time we sort the cards along lines of intelligence. Assuming that all pupils are working up to their capacity, we might expect one uniform grade. This we do not find to be true. For one reason, all do not work up to capacity. For a second reason, all do not have the same intelligence capacity. This message is not intended to review the degrees of variance in our I.Q.’s. We assume that there is that inequality. Having once recognized the situation, we have a charitable attitude and sympathy for those with lesser capacities and do not exp)ect all to earn and get the same grade in the field of achievement. There is one phase of high school experience in which we exjject all pupils to be quite comparable, or equal—that is in the field of Citizenship. One of the easiest facets of Citizenship for us to recognize and to grade is that of Manners. Regardless of a pupil’s ability to get Chemistry, Latin, or any of the 3 R’s, his, or her, enrollment in a school is criteria to his, or her, ability to practice the rudiments of good manners. A pupil’s unwillingness to acquire, and practice, good manners is the one Cardinal Sin against Citizenship. i

DEDICATION We, the Senior class of 1955, dedicate this annual to Larry Rogers, who was an out¬ standing member of our class. In the past two years, several students have entered our class, but no one can take the place of Larry. He has a special place in our hearts, which no one else can fill.
