Her life has been one dedicated to serving young people of West Edgecombe. To her, in appreciation for her devotion and sincerity, we proudly present this issue of the WESCOMB. MRS. GERTRUDE COCOWITCH For willingness to listen and counsel students at all times, for showing a personal interest in the welfare and progress of each of us, for just being her kind and helpful self, we, the Senior Class of 1961, dedicate this edition of the WESCOMB. 4 Principal MR. R. M. CASHWELL Principal’s Message Never before has life offered young people so many challenges and opportunities, but to realize these opportunities and achieve anything worth having, you must pay the price. The price will be work, patience, love, and self-sacrifice. Problems will always arise, but when they do, face them squarely and promptly. If, at any time, life hands you a lemon, make lemonade. My sincere congratulations to the class of 1961 for their many achievements, and my best wishes to each of its members for future success and happiness.

Seniors DIANNE EDMONDSON PHILLIP BROWN At last the end of the road is in sight, the long dream of fulfillment is to become a reality. The four years of study, work, and anxiety are drawing to a close as we hear the familiar strands of Pomp and Circumstance and see the silhouetted figures of our classmates in front of us begin to move forward. As we approach the end of these guided years, we face the unknown way before us, and all of us sense the call of dedication to those things that are noble, just, and true. 15 Senior Class Officers President; PAT WEAVER Secretary: WILLIAM HENRY KILLEBREW Vice-President; BETH REASON Treasurer; JUDY SIMMONS Reporter; JIMMIE CRICKMORE ; JANICE KAY BATTS Janice : I should like to rise j and go, where all good- looking boys grow.
