Ranchester High School - Rustler Yearbook (Ranchester, WY)

Page 14 text:

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE This Rustler will be the last published under the policies of the Ranchester Public Schools, District 33, Sheridan County, Wyoming. The next yearbook published by the students of this school will be governed by the policies of the newly organized School District 24. As Superintendent for the past ten years of School District 33, I have felt the need for an improved curriculum in high school, but this has not been economically possible due to the small enrollment; therefore, I have worked for an enlarged high school dis- trict with more high school students. To accomplish this end, I have encouraged the consolidation of the Dayton and Ranchester High Schools and the elementary schools served by them. During the past summer this consolidation was brought about with the formation of School District 24 by action of the boundary board. Although the Ranchester Schools are now part of District 24, they have continued to operate this year under the budget and policies of the old District 33. Next year the policies of the new district will be formulated and the yearbook will be governed by these new policies. To the Rustler of 1956, I wish to extend my congratulations on your successful growth. In 1946 you were just another yearbook among the yearbooks of the state, now you are among the leaders. In 1954 you were the All-State yearbook and in 1955 you were the runner-up. This is an excellent record, and may your successor keep up the good work. To the students of the Ranchester Public Schools, I bid you farewell, and in years to come as I turn the pages of my Rustlers I will look back on ten of the most enjoyable years of my career. In closing I wish to say, Welcome to our midst, District 24, and may you receive the same wonderful cooperation of your patrons which I have received from mine. Silas Lyman, Superintendent
