We con- sider it a privilege to have had you by our side all the way. Without your companionship, leadership, guidance,financia1 support, encouragement, and in- spiration, our days inside the doors of Symrna High would have been very unprofitable and unpleasant, But as we prepared this Inside Story, we are more convinced than ever that you have made our school days very happy and rewarding. For these days, we gratefully dedicate this Yearbook to you.
