We, the senior class of 1965, wish to dedi- cate this yearbook to our parents as a token of thanks for the help they have given us in at- taining our goals. We realize the hard work and sacrifice that has gone into the years-from the time when they started us out on our first day of school with a slight look of anxiety on their faces, to the night when they will watch us march proudly down the aisle in our caps and gowns. As we leave home to take an occupation and a family of our own, we want them to know that we will always cherish the merf1ories'of our times together in school, in church, and in family activities.

Our school board is made up of dedicated citizens who spend many hours setting the policies of our school system. lf it were not for these devoted, hard- working men ofthe community who take time out from their daily activities to study curriculum, to make sure courses are up to date, and to see that the class- rooms are equipped and in good shape.
