To you, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Eager, with pleasure and humility we, the senior class of Wayland Central, dedicate our 1955 Hi-Lites. Words can not tell how your interest and ability have made our American History live for us. Your teachings will continue to inspire us long after our school years have dimmed in memory.

9 oxes BOARD OF EDUCATION Many years ago, a group of children set out upon a long journey through the enchanted forest of learning. Shortly after entering the woods, the leaves began to turn, and as the ex- plorers marveled at the beauty and color of the words written upon them, they only thought that the best things in life are free”, not un- derstanding that the leaves of books do not grow on trees. As they moved cautiously into the forest, they looked for signs reading no trespassing”. They soon realized there was no forbidden ground, and so continued gratefully on their way. Along the way they often suspected that some- one, older and wiser than they, had taken the journey before them, clearing the path and MR. BENNETT, MRS. PATCHIN, MR. OTTO, MR. BO'WER, MR. KIMMEL mapping for them the best and most interesting courses of study. Then the clearing was seen ahead. They knew they had reached their des- tination and were ready to taste the fruits of learning; but they found themselves reluctant to leave the Enchanted Forest. Suddenly voices reached them from the clear- ing. They soon knew those voices belonged to the mysterious guides who had gone ahead of them to make the journey more pleasant. Stand- ing in this group were: The Board of Education, who supplied us with the equipment needed on our educational journey — an ideal building, books, and supplies; Mr. Hurlbut, who gave us moral support and advice when the going be- came rough. He gave us the proper perspective to clear away the cobwebs marring our vision; The faculty who often took us by the hand and led us through the paths of knowledge. Only now did we truly realize the debt that we owed to these individuals.
