We would like to give a shout out the Mr. Gary Callicott today !!!! Gary made a generous donation that included yearbooks from the mid 50's.. These additions filled some holes that we had in our collection at Mena High School.... Mr. Andy Philpot, yearbook sponsor, was thrilled to receive them..
If you or someone you know would like to make a similar donation it would be greatly appreciated... We do not have a single copy from 1962 or anything before 1951... For information send an E-mail to mark.hobson@menaschools.org
