Van Alstyne High School - Panther Yearbook (Van Alstyne, TX)

Text from Pages 1 - 94 of the 1958 volume:

Published by the STUDENTS of VAN ALSTYNE HIGH SCHOOL DONA WHITAKER Editor CHARLES WILLIAMS Business Manager CLIFTON MAY Advertising Manager Because, as our first grade teacher, she brightened our new world with her enthusiasm, charm, and affection, and because after thirty-five years of service to this school, she re-mains so truly young in heart and so loyally our friend, we dedicate this 1958 Panther to Mis. L. A. Cartwright. And because, for twenty years, she graciously served our school in any department where she was needed most, because she delighted us with her unfailing sense of humor, and because she added to her understanding of subject matter a real understanding of us, we dedicate this annual also to Mrs. D. W. Jay.
