Because we hope to become the kind of citizens that Mr. Webb was and our parents are. We, the Seniors of the Class of '58 are indeed grateful for the wonderful new school which we have been privileged to attend... Without the interest and generosity of Mr. Webb, and the further interest, generosity, and cooperation of our parents, this school might never have been possible. The first section, started in October 1953 with the money donated by Herbert H. Webb, was completed in time for us to have some of our classes there when we were freshmen. Further donations by Mr. Webb, coupled with willingness on the part of our parents to assume the rest of the financial obligation, permitted construction to continue so that we will graduate from the completed high school. To show in some small way our appreciation for this new and wonderful school we, the Seniors, dedicate this, our 1958 Gleaner, to both Herbert H. Webb and our parents.

ROY T. NORMINGTON B.Ed.. M. A. Central Wisconsin Teachers College. Columbia University Dear Seniors: With the advent of the Sputnik, we have entered into a new phase in the development of society. In this new age before us, man is no longer harnessing nature but is actually changing nature to serve his need. The period of the Industrial Revolution was primarily an adaptive age, the period ahead is truly a creative age. In Henry VI, Shakespeare points out that everyone's future is in reality an urn full of un- known treasures from which all may draw unguessed prizes. Likewise, he suggests that there will always be men and women ready to take their turn to play great parts on the stage of history. You have been very fortunate to have the opportunity for education. If you have made good use of it, you are ready to play your part in the tremendous age that lies ahead. Good luck to all of you.
