The 1951| graduating class °f Spencer High School presents thJ3 Echo as a tribute to Mrs. Sylvia Tesmer Nielson who died on August 12, 1953 after a long illness. V.e dedicate this Echo, in aonreciat ion of her faithful service to the school and her enduring friendship to us all. N E 0 R It Is a real pleasure to write a Tew words for the Class of 195i| as it graduates fron Spencer High School. While I have been very pleased with the general student body, working with the � 5U Class has been most gratifying and stimulating to me as a school principal. Never in my teaching career have I .nd the good fortune of being associated with a finer group of young ladies and young gentlemen. Included in this class are many good students, good sports, and good leaders. They set a fine example and high ideals for their younger colleagues. Kay this class enjoy an abundance of success and true happiness as Its members take their places in today s world. Mr. W. E. Erdman Math, and Science Stevens Point S. T. C. Mrs. J. S.
