Rushford Central School - Tiger Yearbook (Rushford, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1953 volume:

RUSH FORD CENTRAL SCHOOL RUSH FORD, N Y. FOREWORD Although a yearbook is directed primarily to the graduating students as a record of their four years in high school, it also serves other purposes. A yearbook gives a bird's-eye view of the entire school year and as such, serves as a record for the files of the school and community. Less practical perhaps is its service to the sentimental side of our natures by furnishing a souvenir of a pleasant but all too short school year. The staff sincerely hopes that the '53 Echo has fulfilled these purposes with satisfaction.
