When a new project is undertaken on an old one renewed, it is the result of the keen interest and lively enthusiasm of a few individuals. A small group composed of such persons is responsible for the renewed interest in an Ada High Annual. It is with sincere appreciation and praise that we dedicate this issue of the “ADA WATCHDOG” to that small but industrious group. This was the return of the Ada high school yearbook after some years without one.
