Sandburr1975 A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words Senior Scenes A. 4 Wh What a Drag! Tom Turkey Was Here! Dedication Not only is there an art in knowing something, but an art in teaching it” Cicero We, the Seniors of 1975 dedicate the 1975 Sandburr to Mr. Michael Highland. The class of 75 wishes to express their appreciation to Mr. Highland for his time, patience, and dedication given in working with us. Not only has he proven to be a good teacher, but a friend as well. Memorandum Elmer Merchant To lose a friend is the greatest of all evils, but to endeavor rather to rejoice that you possessed him than to mourn his loss.
