We wanted to take a little of our year book to say thank you to them for their devoted service and friendship throughout the year. Mrs. Van, thank you for your advice, counsel and wisdom. If it wasn't for you, it would be terribly hard to even have an annual. You have put in many hours to see that the job got done and we were fortunate to have someone as organized as you to help us with the things that we must accomplish in this busy year. You have always been there with an answer when we needed one. Mr. Kunz, thank you for the many hours you have put in to making sure that the pictures came out good. We realize that without your help we would not have been able to handle our own photography. We are also grateful for your advice and patience and for your direction in the Senior Class Play. Mr. Heard, thank you for the many hours of counsel and advice you have given to each of us. We are glad that you have cared enough about us to put forth the extra effort to help us plan for our future. Mr. Frank Kunz Mr. Bob Heard SNOLLVZINVDHO F.H.A.
