a time when world peace is threatened with many misunderstandings that are a
product from the dark pits of ignorance You are going into a situation where
it seem the light or torch of educat on,exemplified on your'HilltopperW, ha
been put out by the wind of hate and ill will among the people of all nations
One may ask,'Is there any hope for t e tension and ignorance to be d1spe1led?W
Yes, is the answer,because we are presenting you,our graduating class,as
hopefuls to help carry the light of understanding into the dark places where
ignorance abound You can help to scatter the shady clouds hovering over the
hearts and minds of men by trying to carry out the instruction of your nA1lB
Hater' You can by precept and example be a beacon for the those who dwell in
the darken pits of intolerance There is not enough darkness in the world to
do away with the light of one bright candle Therefore, there is not enough
darkness in ignorance to do away with the light of education,if those who go
forth to serve, will keep their torches snuffed and burning brightly It will
be your to throw out the light of understanding so that those that are grop
ing in the sea darken with misunderstanding might make a safe harbor of hope
and good will
The endeavors put forth by your parents and teachers doing the several
years you have been in school has supplied you with the fuel for your light
If you will put into practice the knowledge gained from your instruction that
has stressed the basic skills, civic responsibility, worthy use of your lei
sure time, worthy home membership, an appreciation for the beautiful and to
respect the best in moral and spiritual values your flame from the lamp of ed
and rely upon the guidance from the Divine Keeper of all of our lamps your good
works will be seen by all who dwell in the darkness of ignorance Thus, the de
gree of the brilliancy of your light,finally, can only be determined by you
Now,as you take leave from us here,if you find at some future time that
we may help you with additional fuel do let us know You are our torch bearers
and our interest goes beyond your graduation It is our hope that success and
good will, will always be elements in your fuel tanks for your light
Remember WThe light of the body is the eye if therefore thine eye be
single,thy whole body shall be full of light,
But if thine eye be evil,thy whole bodU'shall be full of dark
ness If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, ow

Glass History
In the Autumn of 1951, a group of eager student were waiting at the
bottom of the hill to stat a new journey. These boys and grls came from
all parts of the county seehng that intangible thang known as educatlon.
Judging from the expression on their faces, they were anxious to begin
their pursuit.
The journey has been to us like a long ride. We boarded the train at
the bottom of the hill to start our first pert of the journey Our first
engineer was Kiss. J T Anderson, and our first station was Freshman Ville
We were about twenty five in number. Some of our members Joined the basketball
teams and played a big part toward the success of the 'Green Hornets'
In spite of the many difficultles we encountered, we were on our way to
Sophomore Ville On this second part of the trip we noticed that the nunber
had decreased quite a bit Mr S W. Jones was our eng1neer. Through
cooperative planrnng and hard work, we participated in the Queens Contest.
Ne showed interest in basket ball and xmsic Janie Goudlock and Margaret Golden
were valuable playerss.
As proud sophomores, we completed our second journey with flying colors
and made a successful landing in Junlor Ville With the success of the past
half of our Journey we gained courage, perseverance, and the ability to work
harder Consequently, we d1d not fear what the last half of the journey
would be l1ke With the same crew we started with our engineer, who was
Mrs J D Robertson We partlcipated in the Queens Contest, dramat1cs, the
first ll F.A Fair, basket ball, the I-Clubs, and Chorus
first place w1th Iris Hi I declamation Juanita Aker won first place with
her Tri-Hi I declamation Janie Goudlock was chosen the most outstandzmg
girl in the high school. Darnell Tripp was chosen most outstanding boy :Ln
the lngh school Robert Hutcherson and Darnell Tripp proved to be vital
players on the basket ball team. 'ith these accomplishments, we were ready
to start to Senior Ville with our last contribution 1n Junior Ville being
a wonderful Junior-Senior Prom.
In loading up for our last part of the trip, me discovered we had lost
four more of our menbers The remalning fourteen of us leaned more and more
on our motto which gulded us during the journey, We are c1inb1ng to success",
ind weremore determined to complete the journey. Our engzmeer was llrs. ".S.
Jones. We started the tr1p by participating in the contest, fair, and other
School actitlties.
Ie are about to end our journey and begm gazing over the path way of
life. he we part, we uill carry with us the thought that we musnt be ready
to face the test that the world is holdung before us With our many thoughts
in theyears to come, there will always be a spot in our hearts that our dear
Alm llater cm truly claim Ie shall mn every way prove our devotion and
goyalty to her by showing the world through our work the good that she has
