TO THE CLASS OF 1949-Wilmington High School A milestone is a marker placed beside a highway to indicate how far you have gone along the road that you are traveling. It is not a stopping place. It does not indicate that you have finished your journey except when you have made up your mind to travel only so far. Even then it should only mark a resting point at which you plan for the next portion of the trip. One thing is certain, that is that you go either forward or backward. We seldom stay put by a milestone. Each graduating class arrives at one of these mile- stones in life's journey. Some members have already mapped their course and do not stop. Others who have been going along aimlessly may hesitate and stop to con- sider whether to continue on this road or to go back and try that side road, just passed, which seemed so attrac- tive. They decide to take a chance on that side road, and after following it for too long a time, they find that they have circled back to the main road again only much farther back from Opportunity Road than they were when they detoured. Life is like that. It is seldom, if ever, static. We are always going one way or the other. Even our excursions, which seem to be side trips, have taken up motion and precious time and have not advanced us on our real journey. We may be in motion but we have not progressed. KEEP MOVING FORWARD Stephen G. Bean Superintendent of Schools

We, the class of '49, set aside this page for Mr. J. Turner Hood, our former principal. During his years at Wilmington High School, his understanding and guidance were an inspiration to all who were af- filiated with him. We hope, and know that he will prosper in any task which he might undertake.
