Dedication
We, the Senior class of 1974, wish to dedicate this annual to Everett Kelderhouse. Everett is not a teacher, adviser, or administrator, but it seems like if you need a word from someone or just need someone to smile at, Everett would be there to help you out. Thanks, Everett, and we'll see you around!
