foreword This year we have chosen to call our school a theater. For as there are many parts necessary for a theater to be smoothly-running and successful, so too, one finds many facets in our school life, each one reflecting a different aspect, and each one necessary to the whole. As the stage parallels our school, so the directors and producers, who because of their experience and superior skill have risen to that position and must impart to the players their knowledge, parallel our faculty and school board. This year, we seniors of 1951 have the leading roles — next year our understudies will be in our place — just as the leading actors and actresses are subject to the change. New faces continue to appear with regularity. A theater cannot function without backstage crews of carpenters, electricians and makeup artists; nor can a school do without support from student government, sports activities and girls' clubs, which operate quietly in the background, filling our extra-curricular hours. These parts compose the whole that we know as the theater, and we find its likeness in our school. As we seniors go into this drama, Life, we realize that we must take criticism as well as applause. Yes, we realize that all will not be as we would like it, but there is a song that begins, Youth undaunted, lift up your head, though a hope and a dream are dead. It is with thought such as this that we must leave these halls. The future depends upon it — dreams and plans must precede realities. Life would be barren without them. As we leave our Greenville High School, it is not without reluctance and many backward glances, for we know we will miss its atmosphere of friendliness and understanding. But we have new worlds to conquer, responsibilities to assume, and duties to perform. We cannot falter now. Some of us may be less significant than others in this drama. But we must do our best so that when we face our Author we need not apologize for the way we played our roles.

ZJhe (Board of Education Any theater, in order to run smoothly and efficiently must have a supervising council to guide it through any difficulties and provide for the upkeep. We wish to take this page to thank the Greenville Board of Education. Within the hands of these unsung heroes lie all the problems of running a school. Little do we realize that it is they who see that we have all the necessities of our school life: pencils, tablets, chalk, textbooks, and capable efficient teachers. It is this same group who made possible the building of the three elementary schools which were completed this fall. To this board, whose untiring efforts have made our graduation possible, the Qass of 1951 offers this word of appreciation and thanks for making our school days truly the best years of our lives.” four
