M,MW W 4 . X We have come a long way since our first day of school. That day marked our initial step into the exciting and interesting world of teachers, books, schedules, bells, fire drills, sports, activities, dates, and parties. In our classes we found excellent teachers, each different, but each basically understanding and helpful when we faltered. Our classmates, teammates, and co-workers were of many races, creeds and nationalities. Among them all we found friends. Each has left an im- print on us as each has become a part of what we are today. This has been a rich heritage, and our years have been fruitful.

Mr. Academe A combination of many good traits is necessary to be chosen Mr. Academe, Russell Norcross, a pleasant mannered, hard working student and athlete, fits the pattern perfectly. During his three years of high school, he has distinguished himself as a valuable member of our football, basketball, and baseball teams. He has won many personal trophies, but he was not thinking of personal glory when he helped Academy win the coveted Trophy of Trophies. Besides participating in sports, this popular boy enioys going to dances, watching television, and working on cars. But Russ never neglects his academic work as he plans to enter college this fall and realizes that brain is as important as brawn. We are positive that our Mr. Academe will shine in college and in the future as much, if not more, as he has here at Academy. His determination to succeed and his outstanding personality are sure to carry him far. 14
