William Chrisman High School To the student William Chrisman repre- sents an ideal, an ideal to be maintained, an ideal to be, if possible, improved. All Chrismanites are eager to do their part in upholding the honor of their high school. To the townspeople, our parents, Wil- liam Chrisman is a goal that has been reached. Into it they poured all their love of their children, of their city, and of each other. To our faculty Chrisman is the river upon which they have cast the bread, the fruit of their education and experience. We sincerely hope that it may be returned and increased tenfold. Mn. I.
