- K i,:,,,,.,. ,, 5 ll , DEDICATION NADEINE R. COPE Although our high school years have been joyful ones, there have also been trying times. When problems have beset us, there has been someone who we feel has been especially interested in our welfare and Who has helped to light the way. Her classroom has been a cheerful and pleasant place of learning, for she has been sincerely con- cerned about each student. Her interest in our extra- curricular activities is evidenced by her faithful atten- dance at various school functions. For these reasons we, the Class of 1959, proudly dedi- cate our yearbook to Mrs. Nadeine R. Cope. 6

His body pulsated with the excitement of adventure. While his plans for his voyage had been hastily drawn and details were missing, this disturbed him not, for many other voyages would follow. Greater attention could then be given to plans and purpose. Casting himself free from his mooring he suspected not that this should be his life's voyage. There would be no returning to the home- lands from which he so anxiously departed. How could he know that he would be tossed about aimlessly and endlessly unless he alone worked out the details of his life,s plan and became master of his ship? In after years it was found written in his log: My ears thirst for the sounds of wisdom and my heart has learned in silence the secrets of the days and nights. I listen to the whispered prayers of the seas, the forests and the mountains. I have learned to steer by the light of a distant star which gives me courage, as well as a fixed point to which I adjust my rudder. Yet the visions I have are mine for they are a treasure shared by no man. y Vernon H. W. Dessenberger Supervising Principal 8 wvipwr LUN V CIP D 1 Ur. Vernon IL W, D al if
