dedication Now at the turning point of our lives, we the Graduating Class of 1955 pause to pay respects to you, our parents who have so unselfishly given your time, love, and money so that we might reach this goal. We realize that our debt to you is great and we’d like to express a portion of our deep gratitude by dedicating to you our MEMO of 1955. Since this is the fiftieth anniversary of Stanford High School, we should like to pay tribute to Hubert Carpenter and Jim Bob Newland, who were die only graduates of the class of 1905. This was the first graduating class of Stanford High School--just 50 years ago. The Stanford Graded School district was organized in March 1901 after the election of five trustees, as they were called in those days. There was quite a bit of opposition to the public school in the beginning, but gradually the resistance died. A fire destroyed the school building in 1902 and in its place was erected the present building which houses most of the lower grades. Hubert Carpenter is the son of the late Dr. J. G. Carpenter, a prominent physician who practiced here for many years. Mr. Carpenter is an insurance executive in Louisville at present. Jim Bob Newland is the son of T. D. Newland who was a merchant in Stanford for many years. Mr. Newland now lives in Fort Worth, Texas and is now retired. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Baugh Mr. and Mrs. W.
