DEDICATION The 1955-56 Edition of the PIONEER is being dedicated to Mrs. Merle M. Shurpit, who lias had a large part in elevating our school to the proud position which it now holds. Mrs. Shurpit, who is noted state-wide for her abilities and achievements in the field of home ec- onomics and her faithful work in FHA, has not failed to give individual attention to her students. Through the doors of her classroom have walked many, to a finer, more successful way of life. This dedication is one way in which we can in some small way express our gratitude.

'moments to remember' The first frightened moment as a freshman, initiation and its surprises, the responsibility of homecoming as a sophomore, the junior prom and its frilly dresses and dreamy music, as a senior, the noisy class meetings, the loud shirts, the memorable class trip, and cap and gown. We’ll have these moments to remember. Frogs in dissecting pans, stylish dirty bucks, nickels lost in the candy machine, faces washed in the bubblers, the stacks of books lugged home each night and the forgotten locker combination, the troublesome circles in geometry, the cold showers and the swapping of class rings. We 11 have these moments to remember. The muddy fields, the slippery pigskin, the goal posts wrapped in purple and gold. The crowded gym, the bright lights, the games lost and won, the cinder track, spiked shoes, and endless hurdles. The diamond with its glorious nine. We’ 11 have these moments to remember. The echoing of the drum cadence, the romance of prom, the deadlines met, the inkiness of the production room, the evening rehearsals and the tension before a performance the jolly skating parties, the rippling of fingers over piano keys, the golden pom poms, and the candid humor of the ag. shop. We’11 have these moments to remember.
