Dedication

To Mr. Tom C. Parks, who has so unselfishly given the fruit of fourteen years of hones toil to advance Clifton High School, giving therein a priceless gift to use in our education, and who, during our association with him, has presented to us an excellent example of true Christian modesty that will assist to guide our life correctly on its journey.  During these years, as president of the Board of Education, he has been our friend and encouraged all our school activities.  To him we gratefully and respectfully dedicate this volume of  "The Old Mill."
