IN MEMORIAM “He whom you say has passed away has simply posted on ahead.” —Seneca We the class of ’57 will always remember the late James Y o a s who died October 28, 1956. Mr. Yoas was active in both church and civic affairs and at the time of his death was serving as Vice-President of the Sandy Township School Board. All of us in the Sandy area are certain that we have a School Board of which we can be mighty proud. Their goal has always been to do what is best for the students. There have been many improvements in the High School building this year. The students all appreciated these as they added greatly to the appearance of the interior as well as exterior of the building. An example of what was done are the new windows and new blinds put in many rooms. Outside we found new paving around the building and a new incinerator. At the Oklahoma building they welcomed stage curtains and draperies, as well as new tables for student use. The Wilson building returned to find new flores-cent lights in an additional three rooms, which helped to light up the new desks and chairs for the teachers use. In addition to these purchases a new bus was added to the fleet adding comfort to our transportation. The President of this very competent group of men is Mr. Reuben Leafgren. While the Vice-President is Mr. Howard Hess, and Secretary and Treasurer is Mr. Blaine Gent. 6 Mr. James Yoas
