We would like to present the Senior Section of this yearbook as a tribute or memento to Mr. J. J. Harbison, sponsor of many Senior Classes anddirector of many superb Senior Plays. The pictures of the Senior Trip found below are par- tially a result of his fine direction of the Senior Play. Mr. Harbison has always left more than just whatwasin the text books for his students. Such things as honesty, forthrightness, patience and perserverance cannot be measured in terms of grades on a report card, but only in the affect on our future success. Later in life we will realize the value of his example. The teacher is one who makes two ideas grow where only one grew before ------Elbert Hubbard.
