Our Principal , Mr. Koontz To the Faculty and Students: The classes of 1956 and 1957 and the under graduates and staff will never forget the past two years. Then, we accomplished much with but little to work in or with. We kept our identity as a student body, we carried on a class program, and a program of activities despite the loss of our main building. Think as you examine this book, of thenarrow doors, the study hall on the gym stage, and the outdoor corridors to classes. Recall the co-operation and efforts of us all to get along with what we had. The spirit that enabled our forefathers to endure hardship amidst plans for better days isn’t dead. It is a part of our heritage that still lives. Congratulations to all and the best of wishes. It has been a privilege to work with you. Cordially yours.
