PRINCIPAL VICE-PRIN CIP Lf MR. VVENDELL V. CLEVELAND With all sincerity and gratitude we, the class of 1960, wish to thank Mr. Wendell Cleveland for the guidance and under- standing he has so generously given us throughout our school years. We can never repay him for all his aid in helping us to overcome our problems during these past years. He was always ready to give us his guidance and confi- dence when we needed it, and, by being our leader of the Student Council, he has planned and given us many enjoyable moments which we will remember in the years to come. Thus, with all that Mr. Cleveland has done for us, he shall always be remem- bered by us all in our future years. 3 MR. JACK R. TERRY In our future years, the class of 1960 will look back in memory on those four happy years spent in high school. Among our fond recollections will be the dear memory of our eternal friend, Mr. jack Terry. His patience and understanding have helped us overcome our problems, and his guidance and advice have helped us to carry out many of our ideas and plans. We will always remember him with gratefulness and the memory of his kind- ness and warm friendship will always be cherished.
