,I I 7-7773,;7 .7' H: gig Congratulations and best wishes to the student editorial staff and the faculty sponsors of the Matoaca Middle School memory book, Legend. The school year of 1977-78 continues to be a rewarding educa- tional experience for the vast majority of us who are involved as a Matoaca Middle School family. While we together have made great strides here at Matoaca Middle in terms of our intellectual and social pursuits, We are continuing to aim at the stars, even though We may fall in the clouds. In our moments of glee and sometimes sorrow, Ibelieve we should always be unfeignedly thankful for the great blessings bestowed upon us in having the opportunity to attend an institution like Matoaca Middle School. When We reflect that young men and Women of many other cultures who are endowed with the same kinds of innate abiliu'es and intellectual gifts as we are many times denied the opportunities to make known and use their talents and gifts for the good of themselves, and for significant others, we can con- sider our educational experiences at Matoaca Middle a privilege. This privilege comes to us because we live in a culture, The United States of America , that stresses confluent education interwoven with moral and spiritual values as an output measure for every student who mkes full advantage of this great opportunity afforded him educationally. You, as students, represent the fondest hopes and dreams of your parents, and or guardians, your teachers, and significant others who are directly 3 part of your immediate living. Treasure and take advantage of every possible good learning experience here at Matoaca Middle School, for the time is not far away when decision making which will affect you, your family, the people of your community, the people of this culture, and the peoples throughout the world will rest upon your shoulders individ- ually. Our wish here is to enable your to corral the rich experiences which have been yours at Matoaca Middle in helping you to arrive at worthwhile approaches to life, now and in the future. It has been my very special pleasure to work with the sponsors and the student staff members of Legend. I person- ally thank you for this opportunity. William M . Clayborne
