Dedication

To Mr. M. E. Jones, who has won the respect and admiration of the entire student body in two years, by sincere and faithful service as teacher and coach. His quiet and clean manner in the school room and on athletic field has influenced greatly the molding of our characters, which are now in their making.  His ever willingness to work with the boys on the athletic field no matter how dark prospects might be, has kept Clifton High School above the average school of her class, and developed a finer spirit among the boys under him. This volume of the Old Mill we do respectfully dedicate to Mr. M. E. Jones.
