Principal's MR. LOUIE HORNSBY Message What is the value of a high school annual . . . your high school annual? Today, perhaps, only the cost of its printing and production; but over the years it will be invaluable. As one reviews it over the years, he is likely to re-evaluate his own efforts, his wisdom of the past, his attitudes towards friends and relatives, and his outlook on life. As he does so he will likely make new resolutions and launch out on new horizons. If this is the case, each time it is reviewed will be as a mile post on life’s journey. How well one is able to take pauses along the way and evaluate the past and make plans for the future is determined, to a great degree, by how well he disciplines himself as a youth. It is the responsibility of each person to prepare for life through mental, physical and spiritual development that will provide the stamina necessary for all trying occasions. This kind of development has been more evident among young people in the last year or two than it has been for quite a number of years. There has been a renewed interest in sports and outdoor physical activities, and a change from attitudes of selfishness to that of unselfishness in sharing. It is hoped that this is the beginning of a trend that will blossom into the development of a much more wonderful generation of people. You should be able to say whether it is true as you review this yearbook in years to come. You, as future decision-making citizens have a constant challenge to first improve yourselves and then set about to improve your surroundings. 27

Assistant Principal MR. BILL BATES — Assistant Principal This year has seen a lot of new happenings. A winning football season and initiation of the demerit system to mention but two. In the months and years ahead new things will be happening to each of you. I sincerely wish that these new things will also be good — good for your personal success and for the environment in which you live. Remember, an individual can make good things happen — just as the graduating seniors made their graduation possible — just as the coaches and the team made the winning season happen. Don't be comfortable and think accomplishments are accidental and will come your way if you are patient enough — some may but most will not. Reach out and demand beneficial happenings for you are worthy of them. Dean of Girls MRS. SUE MURDOCK — Dean of Girls 28 Congratulations and best wishes to the class of 1975.
