the bulldog THE BULLDOG Presented by The Rocky Creek PTA - ROCKY CREEK SCHOOL With love and gladness, we dedicate this yearbook to MR, GENE REED, our assistant principal and one of our junior high teachers, Mr. Reed has proven to us that he is dedicated morally and intellectually to the de- velopment of the highest standards of every aspect of life in this school and community. So, it is very much in order that we dedicate this book to him who merits maximum re- pect from us. Foreward How many roads must a man walk down before you can say he's a man? The road of experience The road of correction The road of hard work The road of failure The road of success The road of love The road of faithfulness The road of loyality The road of truth The road of education There are so many roads we must travel to make the complete person. . .and education is one of the most im- portant ones. Without education, all these other roads would be almost impassable.
