A Message from the Principal. . . WE ARE BUILDING During the year, we have had an op- portunity to observe many of the details which are an essential part of any con- struction. Many of you played ot Big Hill and felt a little sad when the bull- dozers pushed back the underbrush, in preparation for the loads of bricks and materials that were to be used by skilled hands and minds to construct Oscar From- mel Smith High School. This building became a reality because the people of South Norfolk had a dream, -a desire to give you young people the best they could to help you build. You, with the assistance of many, are building your future. Each day you are be- coming that man or woman you will face in the mirror of life. .lust as the building was constructed brick by brick, you are ad- ding to your life by daily decisions. Strong physical bodies, keen minds, skilled hands, trustworthy character, and respect for God are worked for and require conscious ef- fort. We are building as long as we are priv- ileged to live. Are we like the workman who considered his job iust cutting stone or are we building a cathedral? We can build the kind of older person we desire to be. How are you progressing with your building? r . IQ' In 8 May I present Mr Story our Superintendent of Schools 5 Ihe opening day ceremony is under way while in the back

From the time he first begins to count, through the years when he is earning a livelihood, mathematics becomes an important factor in a person's daily life. Graduates who will enter trades or apprenticeships, who go into military service or take Civil Service exams, or who enter college will find that the machine and scientific age of today requires increased mathematical skills.
