73 PANTHER 1 There is something better, if possible, that a man can give than his life. That is his living spirit to a service that is not easy, to resist counsels that are hard to resist, to stand against purposes that are difficult to stand against. Woodrow Wilson Will Power Want Power Supreme Power The most wasted of days is that in which one has not laughed 8. Chamfort What's the earth with all its art, verse, music, worth — compared with love, found, gained, and kept? Robert Browning Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joy, and dividing our grief. Joseph Addison A little and a little, collected together, become a great deal. Saadi To live is not to live Tor one's self alone; let us help one another. Menander The Quality of Friendship The quality of friendship, unlike that of mercy, is continually being strained but it is the essence of friendship that it can stand the strain. Friendship is like love at its best; not blind but sympathetically all-seeing; a support which does not wait for understanding; an act of faith which does not need, but always has reason. Louis Untermeyer In Memoriam To all things there is a season. . . A time to live and a time to die . . . Mr. Denton lived a life well known by all of his students. He worked hard and expected no less of us. He loved living a Christian life readily known by his family and friends. He was a principal by heart, stopped by an untimely death. ACTIVITIES It is true, I never assisted the sun materially in its rising; but, doubt not, it was of the last importance only to be present at it. David Thoreau Cheerleaders — and vivaciously lead the and promoting spirit for cheerleader (?)

The Junior-Senior Banquet, the Hurricane Creek Country Club, corsages, and happy faces. a formal affair, held at was heralded by tuxedoes, 1973 All Sports Banquet guest speaker, Bill Krisher addresses students: The most important person in the world, Panther, at this school is you. 24 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong; but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. I Corinthians 13:4-7 ORGANIZATIONS You shall enter the living shelter of the forest. You shall walk where only the wind has walked before. Nancy Newhall Five cheerleaders united in one voice kindle the spirit of teamwork They march on the field to the beat of the drums, perform a three minute routine, then march off the field to the applause and enthusiasm of their home side. Then, there are hours of long, hard work each week to relive the short glory of a halftime performance. Is it worth it? It is when a group of five majorettes work together to perform as one, just to hear the response of the crowd ...

And why not? Since everything that's convenient in a motel is more like home in a Champion. Things like a kitchenette complete with hooded range and stainless steel sink. Roomy dining and lounging areas. Plus a private bath. Champion gives you all the room you can handle. These are just a few of the reasons a Champion motor home has it all over a motel (coming and going). FLESHER FUNERAL HOME We Honor All Burial Policies at Full Value Van Alstyne, Texas 482-5225 P. O.
