DEDICATION I This year ' s El Saguaro is dedicated to May Doaii. Mrs. Doan has served the school md its students since 1936 as clerk of the attendance office. Only recently has ;he resigned her position here to devote her full time to life with her family, rhe Doan familv has iontr been associated with the school and its affairs. Mr. Ilohn Doan served ten years as clerk of the Bcjard of Education. Oiir athletic Reld, scene of many Criminal victories and defeats, bears the name Doan in his ncmory. The school song we all sing was composed by Marian Doan. In fact Mrs. l ian and her family belong to the school tradition. Although the duties of Mrs. I I I [)oan were to look after the book store and attendance recrds, she did much more. Vlany is the time that a late student would come to the attendance with a loud and engthy story of oversleeping or missing the bus trying to beat the twinkling eyes It the game they had taught her themselves. And the student with trouble came o her too, secure in her confidence. It would seem that all the troubles in school .vere brought to the attention of Mrs. Doan for her to iron out and this she would Jo in a very human manner. Teachers and students alike would make a path o her doorway with their trf)ubles and they were all straightened out. For this unfaitermg love of students we sholud like to otfer our most sincere ippreciation and our most humble thanks for no one who knows this loveable ady will ever forget her or ever stop thinking of her. The silver of her hair and rhe warmth of her eyes lent to the school a beautiful homev atmosphere. Seven
