MR. JAMES O. WILLIS B.A., University of South Carolina M.A., University of South Carolina Principal Principal There are many tangible and intangible things which bind all Aiken High students to their alma mater. The school seal, which appears on oil Aiken High rings and graduation announcements, is the most tangible of these things. The polo player as the crest of the seal represents Aiken as the sports center of the south ; the pine cones, lapping the outer edges, represent the beauty of our city and of our campus; the open book represents knowledge; the arm and hammer represents the dignity of labor; the triangle represents the three areas to be developed if one is to become truly educated: the spiritual, the physical, and the mental. The word character is ot the bottom of the seal and it supports all of the other emblems. Every student — past or present — who owes his loyalty to Aiken High has a constant reminder of all that his alma mater stands for in the seal he wears on his ring. The alumni are proud of the fine record which Aiken has made in the area of athletics and in the academic world. Aiken high school constantly strives to live up to the high standards set forth in the make-up of the school's seal, ond she hopes that the seal will serve as a continuous reminder to its wearer of these high goals and standards. A principal's job has no limit. 25
