The Bobcat - Cross Roads Year Book

We dedicate this the first Cross Roads Bobcat to the memory of Raymon Venable. 
 Mr. Venable’s dynamic personality won the esteem, admiration and confidence of
 all with whom he came in contact.

Even though he is gone in person he lives in the hearts and lives of the entire student
body.  We like to think of him as working on with us, yet we know he has that rest he 
deserves.
