Foreword This edition of the Clock Tower did not come into being overnight. At the outset we were fully aware that it would be an undertaking requiring much mental and physical energy in many hours of work. All through the vroiect we endeav- ored to perform our j0b to the best of our ability. We had am- ple helping hands when needed, always ready and willing; the cooperation was splendid. The finished product gives us a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. We feel reward- ed for our efforts and are most grateful to others for their assistance. In making the Clock Tower possible, we are especially in- debted to Mr. Carl Barber for his invaluable service as advi- sor; to Mrs. Marie Davis for helping with the composition of the class themes; to Mr. Albert Mehl for the photography; to Mr. Paul Crutchfield for the printing work; and to those teachers and students who, in some part, contributed to the success of the 1954 Clock Tower.

Our Alma Mater May we never forget our beloved Alma Mater, Our home for so many years. A home to remember When each dying ember Will reveal how she stilled all our fears. We’ve gained from her gems in a cultural sphere. A knowledge of life to be met, How to work day by day, To worship and pray. A high goal for the future we've set. Oh, the joys that we’ve had as we’ve plodded along, Climbing the ladder of learning. May the years be kind, As we start life’s grind, May the fires of success be kept burning. And now ’tis farewell, our last fond farewell, That we bid with burning desires, j To be grateful to you, To be loyal and true, As the time of our stay here expires.
