Dedication We take great pleasure in dedicating this our 1954-'55 edition of the Eagle to our parents: Who have strived toward developing us into useful citizens, who will be a credit to our community and country; whose wishes are that each of our lives will be dedicated to God. Who have made unselfish sacrifices in making our school an instrument in preparing us for leaders of tomorrow. Who took time to doctor our cuts and bruises; and gave us words of comfort and encouragement. Whose love has never failed in all our past years and will not fail us in years to come. We hereby dedicate this edition of the Eagle to you. Our Parents. Annual Staff STANDING SEATED Dorothy Smoak, Assistant Business Manager; Martha Strickland, Business Manager; Eva Thomas, Art Editor.
