Eehlfatal 30 .... Our Fathers and Forefathers ln appreciation for our great heritage of freedom and our opportunity to learn made possible by numerous sacrifices, we, the staff, dedicate the 1956 Parisian to our forefathers. Remembering our ancestors faced hardships and losses far beyond our understanding, we wish to pay tribute to their memory. Countless lives were given on battlefields to make possible the freedoms and comforts we enioy today. May we never take our rights for granted, but, remembering those who made the supreme sacrifice for us, may we realize and perform our obligations to coming generations. Page Thru
