,, ,Yx,..,--.p--- 5,-1.8: Vin-w...p-s-.. V i in t if . r 7 , DEDICATIO Realizing' how much past graduates have had to do with the physical and mental growth of todays high school and realizing' how much responsibility rests upon the shoulders of future generations for the maintenance of high standards of education and character, we, the Senior class of 1948. dedicate this, our annual, to past, present, and future generations of Speedway students. . From the time when the very lirst student entered Speedway High School, our school has been a symbol of education, sportsmanship, and friendship. It has be- come a place filled with traditions and ideas: it has become a mold from which good American citizens are formed. XVith the passing' of each year new students will take their places within the sacred halls of S.H.S. Their task will be a big one for they must guard the ideas of the past and build new and better ones for the future. As our school grows physically, so we hope that it will grow in mental and moral stature.
