Q-flu I E now in service, Nick, a junior in Poteau High Dedication Since we students feel that Mr. Glenn Ede ward Evans is our Superintendent because he believes in us, the boys and girls of America, and is confident that we can be trained to meet the perplexing problems of this age which of- fers us so many challenges, we dedicate our Potonian of 1957 - 58 to him. To us, this is the highest honor we can bestow upon anyone. We trust that he will accept our appreciation and gradtitude with the dedication. He is a gentleman who merits our highest esteem.
