I264 Students Utilize Buildings Our student body is composed of pupils from the seventh through the twelfth grades. We are a mixture of many nationalities and faiths. With our democratic way of life the rich and the poor, the best and the poor- est students, have an opportunity to work to- gether in our school system. Our student group is an interesting contrast in types, the tall, the short, the plump and the lean ones. Like the great country we live in, all these different personalities unite in backing our school in its various activities such as our music groups, athletic teams, and scholastic endeavors. Thus the school spirit of Sidney High is a lasting memory in the hearts of every alumnus. 1 .' ,I ., , 5 , 1 - , f 1 , 1 42. . , W E fl, 1 K , .Q . ffm J Q :rf l 15 R
