In later years while turning these pages, if you should recall the many smiles, sorrows, and dreams of ’69, we shall be content knowing that we have done the things we were called upon to do, We. have presented a key to each division of high school activity. Knowing that the key to success is enthusiasm, we have all whole-heartedly joined in to make this Fortress one of the best ever. We feel that your satisfaction with this volume is our compensation, and with this thought we proudly give you the key to the 1969 Fortress.

We are grateful for the helping hand he has given each one of us. He is a vital member of the Fort Ashby High School staff and without him we could not survive, His warm smile, friendly jokes, and helping hands have brightened many days, In return for the priceless friendship and dedicated service you have given us, we the Senior class proudly dedicate our 1969 Fortress to you, Mr. William Shook, In Memory of Captain Samuel Umstot | AWAY I cannot say, and I will not say, That he is dead - he is just away. With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land, And has left us dreaming, how very fair It need must be, since he lingers there. And you - O you, who so wildly yearn For the old time step and the glad retum, Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here. Think of him as the same, I say; He is not dead - he is just away. James Whitcomb Riley ADMINISTRATION Principal’s Message MR, J, WILLIAM MARKER “If you have knowledge, let others light their candles by it.’ Dear Seniors, As this year draws to aclose, search your hearts to rediscover those things which give meaning to your life, It is my hope that your experiences at Fort Ashby High School have contributed to your guidelines for living. As you go forward to assume the responsibilities of citizenship, I urge you to have a reverent regard for your fellowman, your community, and your country. You have selected as the theme for your yearbook, ‘‘Keys.’’ This is significant for each of you holds the key for your future, When the time comes for you to make the decision as“to which door to choose, do not select the first door that your key unlocks, Choose to pass through the door that offers you happiness and satisfaction, Try to do things each day that will make this world a more joyous place to live. I extend my best wishes to you for a successful future, Sincerely, Mr. J, William Marker, Principal FACULTY MRS, FRANCES ALKIRE 1965-1969 Secretary MR, PRESTON MILLER 1966-1969, 8-B A.B., Bridgewater Algebra I and II Advanced Math, Math 8 Sponsor of Rocket Club Yearbook Advisor MRS, SHIRLEY ARMSTRONG 1967-1969, 9-A East Carolina Fairmont State Typing, Bookkeeping MR, NORMAN MOORE 1968-1969, 7-B B.S.

The World Vision Sponsorship Program Works Like This - You will get a photograph and a brief history of your child. You'll get letters from him, keeping you informed of his progress. Letters are translated into English whenever necessary. Even letters in Braille from blind children are translated. You can provide gifts, toys, clothes, school supplies and personal articles. With every little item you buy for him you'll know you're buying happiness for a little one that he never would have known ze without YOU and your love. You'll be providing for his spiritual welfare also. Children are given Christian teaching. They are taught to pray and to love the Saviour. Your child will remember you in his prayers. World Vision is made up of hundreds of people like you ... people who care and have made these facilities possible and who are sponsoring helpless, needy children. Group sponsorship (churches, Sunday Schools, groups of friends, etc.) are encouraged as well as individual and family projects.
