t It seems such a little while since I was writing my message to the class of ’64 that I am very much aware of the fast-moving age in which we live. That being the case, I shall ask you to think of your life ahead as that of an airplane flight. Someone has said, The 'take-off is very necessary, but it is continued flight that gets you there. I’d say that these are very appropriate words, in this fast-moving, air-minded age, to you who are about to take-off into the wild blue yonder” of life. The completion of your high school education, I believe, should be only the take-off into further study and growth which will help you to make your flight” into life more useful and pleasant. You hold in your hands the keys which can control the instrument panel for a successful flight-preparation and desire. No doubt there are some of you who have not made proper preparation for the take-off . Such negligence can only mean an eventual crash landing . Let us hope that you have made enough preparation that you will not let it be fatal. One thing I would caution you to remember, Some people fall into trouble because they are more interested in speed than in direction.” In our language, have you attempted by-passing responsibility or taking too many short cuts? Have you made a flight plan ? Are there fears in taking over the controls” of your life? Historical records have proved that Extraordinary work is usually done by ordinary people with extraordinary zeal. How great is your supply of zeal? It is my sincere hope that each of you has taken advantage of pre-flight training —checked instruments, fuel; mapped flight plan, fastened safety-belt and readied your body, mind and spirit for the take-off”. Happy Landing! Happy landing, Class of '65! MR. GRAYDON PIERCE

I would like to express my congratulations and thanks to the Albany High School Annual Staff and its faculty' advisors for another outstanding publication. I am sure that you students and teachers join with me in this expression of pride and confidence, and I am sure that we will all have many pleasant hours going through this annual in future years. A lot of hard work has gone into the development and publication of this book and I am happy that it will bring back many pleasant memories to us. I cannot close the school year without saying something about your record. Many of you have heard your teachers and advisors, as well as your principal, talk to you about the importance of your record which will follow you all of your life. Your school record not only will show your academic achievements but also will be a record of your extra curricular activities and accomplishments. While this statement about your record comes too late to help our graduating seniors, I feel that our up-coming juniors and seniors should give some consideration now to their future plans so that they can improve their record. The Dougherty County School Board, Superintendent and administration has made a genuine effort to provide not only the most modern and up-to-date buildings and equipment, but also a teaching staff that is second to none in preparation and desire to help the students. The facilities are here, the staff is here and I challenge all of you students to get the best possible preparation academically. I also urge you to participate in the school activities which enable us to live in harmony with each other. I am looking forward to another great year. Sincerely, Ct Big Chief attends pep rally. You say you want two on Sea Biscuit in the third. Old Man and the Sea” 17

As each Senior Class goes out from Albany High School, a little bit of me goes along with every one of you — my wish for you to have a happy, rewarding life, An Overflowing Life, and my deep concern for your continued growth and maturity in building the kind of life that will yield an overflow of Faith, Love, Courage, and Spiritual Power. On Life's pathway you will come face to face with experiences that will puzzle and disturb you, blessings that will startle and amaze you. It is my desire that in and through these experiences and blessings your Cup of Life” shall overflow with a faith that will make you strong, a courage that will make you brave in the face of trial and tragedy, and a conviction that will provide boldness and grace to meet life’s greatest tests and demands. Perhaps I can best express what I want to say with an adaptation from the pen of H. A. Walters: Be true, for there are those who trust you; Be pure, for there are those who care; Be strong for there is much to suffer; Be brave, for there is much to dare. May this message to you become a reality in your life as you embark upon a yet uncharted course so that your life and the lives of those whom you love may be lives that will overflow into Eternal Life. Sincerely, MR. GRAHAM LOWE Sincerely, CLcrcucJ naj- , At Manilla Bay Commodore Dewey said, You may fire when ready”. Not only should you Seniors be ready but you Must be ready! Some people say that education is a thing of which only the few are capable, and only a small percentage will profit by a teacher's most Zealous energy. I do not believe this at all. Your class can disprove this philosophy. I rather tend to agree with the following quotation from Austin: Genius is that power which dazzles mortal eyes but is often simply perseverance in disguise.
