Freda Hutchison Compliments of PAUL'S PLUMBING 8: HEATING FOREW0lllI With the passing of time, the echoes of our school life will grow fainter and fainter and then die away. Gone forever will be the routine of school life, the fun we had, and the friends we made. It is the hope of the 1956 Vade Mecum Staff that, as you glance through this book in the years to come, you will recapture those moments--and the echoes will be- gin again. We wish to thank the 1956 Vade Mecum Staff and Mr. Hallam, our Advisor, for helping make this yearbook possible. Editor and Assistant W NX ? ffn N X f fl?
