Mr. Randel, You know that you have ranked high in our esteem and admiration since you came to Beaufort as principal of Beaufort High School when we were in the eighth grade. You endeared yourself to us immediately and that very year you received the yearbook dedication, which read in part: You have worked hard for us at Beaufort High School. We are deeply indebted to you for the high standards you have set for us and for the challenge you have presented to us to continually better ourselves and our school. You understand us and will always treat us Fair and Square. Through the years we have continued to respect you for your understanding and loyalty. It was with great pride that we learned of your new position as district superintendent of Beaufort Schools. Your background had prepared you for this iob. You had received the B.S. degree in English and Economics from Newberry College in 1942 and the Master of Education degree in edu- cational administration from the University of South Carolina in 1952. You had served variously as English, mathematics, and history teacher, then as principal and coach at Olanta High School from 1946 to 1948, as principal and subsequently as deputy superintendent for secondary schools in Beaufort District 1 from 1955 until last fall. You had served four years with the U. S. Navy during World War ll, leaving service as a lieutenant, senior grade. You later served as com- manding officer of Barrery B of the 248th F.A.Bn. with the rank of captain. You are married to the former Julia F. Smith of Newberry, and have two sons, plus a little daughter born last November. You hold membership in the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the American Association of School Administrators on both the state and national levels, the county, state, and national education as- sociations. You are past president of the Beaufort County Education As- sociation and you are a deacon in the First Presbyterian Church. We appreciate the contributions you are making to the life of your community, and we especially appreciate the education -in our schools. We shall continue to grow under your leadership. We hope we hold a spot as special in your heart as you will always hold in ours. We consider ourselves fortunate to know you, privileged to work with you, and proud to call you friend. Affectionately, The Yearbook Staff .fdclminidfraford fkinl' hrdf of .gjfuclenfa MR. WILLIAM E. DUFFORD, Principal is-'M 4614 l fl vm, NX.. MR. J. M. RANDEI., JR., Superintendent Mr. Dufford, We welcome you as our principal at Beaufort High School. We feel that you have the interest of young people at heart and that you know what makes us tick. We appreciate the fact that you love us in spite of our shortcomings and that you are generous with your pats on the back when we have done well. We have found you to be firm but fair and respect you for your consistency, your ideals, and your efforts to encourage the best in us. In looking over newspaper accounts and yearbooks, we have found that this is your life, Mr. Dufford: Your college career at Newberry was interrupted by your service in the Navy during World War Il. You returned from the Pacific to receive your B.S., in Math and Science in 1949. To say that your record in college activities was outstanding is an understatement. You were president of the student body, editor of the year- book, captain of the basketball team, and president of your fraternity. This is an inspiration to us. You have since devoted'your life to young people and education. You received your Master's Degree in Education at the University of South Carolina. You taught algebra and trigonometry at Winyah High School in Georgetown where you were also athletic coach. Then you came to Beaufort as principal of Beaufort Junior High in its first year of operation, 1957-58. While in Beaufort you coached the Midget football league and a church basketball team. Last year you taught and coached at Newberry. Such has been your life, Mr. Dufford. Again we welcome you. Now you realize why thank you is inadequate in expressing our appreciation for your launching us smoothly and successfully in our new school. Sincerely, The Yearbook Staff

American and English literature are stud- ied in the high school English classes. Above Dennis Smith gives an oral report on Beowulf in Mrs. Zeigler's English IV class. Beowulf, an epic poem, is the first written piece of English literature. Also stressed are outside reading, crea- tive writing, book reports and research papers. Left we find Susan Rogers of English III deeply involved in a paperback edition of SCARLET LETTER. Paperback editions of many of the classics are available to the English students. Below, reading in class is an essential part of the Latin I class. Latin students learn about Roman history, customs, and mythology as well as to read and translate Latin. H57
