TXT A SE IOR'S VIEW POI T We, the graduating seniors of the year 1960-1961 are proud of the fact that we have been a member of this great Middleton family for the past three years. In these years we have exemplified all the outstanding traits of seniors. We are respected by other prospectives. We have also gained self-confidence and assurance. We have learned to advance socially, mentally, physically, morally and economically. These years have given us the ability to give and follow instructions wisely. We have upheld all the policies of the school. We have learned to ex- press the qualities that are expected of the most dignified and outstand- ing citizens in any community. The great training that we have received at Middleton has enabled us to gain the power to read and be active in all activities that are sponsored by the school. During these years we have learned to know and understand the impor- tance of cooperation. We have also developed the kind of attitude that makes others learn to appreciate us. It will grieve our hearts to leave this institution, but we must go into the world and enter different walks of life. The memory of our Alma Mater will always linger in our minds because of the many wonderful days that we have spent between these walls and for the many things we have accomplished which would make anyone proud. Therefore, we shall always keep our heads uplifted, and go forth to offer our services to the world for the benefit of all mankind.

Charles Thomas, NAACP accountant and representative, was also on his way to France We talked until both of us were exhausted. A familiar voice awaken me, I rubbed my eyes for certainly I was dreaming. Velma Charles, Ruby A.ndrews, Evelyr Roberts and Samuel Scott were aboard the same plane headed for Scotland and England. What a wonderful surprise to learn from them that so many ofour dreams had come true. The plane was slowly landing before I realized my journey was nearly over and I would see another of my friends. I said goodby to the others and rushed to the door of the plane. To my greatest surprise the pilot of the plane abroad was none other than Clifford Knight. Well all good things must end. Certainly, I will enjoy my tour around the world and perhaps meet many more members of the Middleton Family. Ruby Lee Thompson bt. . A L f X eff' 1 , -15 ti , .A 1 I
