DEDICA TION We, of the Senior Class of 1957. welcome this opportunity to express gratitude to our Superintendent Mr. William Milligan, by dedicating this, our first issue of Badger Echoes to him. All through our school lives he has been ever mindful of our welfare. Both he and Mrs. Milligan by their wise guidance and loving devotion to those entrusted to their care have endeared themselves to us. Ann, Bill and Mary have grown up with us; and they. too. have contributed much to our happiness. Memories of the many kindness of all the family we cherish and carry away with us, and we wish them Godspeed.
