Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1956 volume:

We. the annual staff, dedicate the 1956 Cherokee to our dearest and most faithful friend. It is because of his kind- ness and true understanding of our students, that causes our school to be rated “tops.” He puts forth every spare moment of his time worrying with each and every student of our school. He is not only an outstanding person, but the most wonderful Vice Principal any school could ever hope for. Our dedication is to our very own . . . B. W.
