Q fin Memoriam Albemarle High School was saddened in October, 1961, by the death of Mr. James Welford Estes. Mr. Estes, a teacher of In- dustrial Cooperative Training, had been an instructor at Albe- marle High School since the school was opened in 1953. He had begun his 36th year of teaching. Although a native of Greene County, Mr. Estes taught for 29 years in the schools of Albemarle County. He had served as coach, class sponsor, and guidance counselor, in addition to his classroom duties. Someone has described Mr. Estes as a gentle man and rightly so, for he always had a kind word and a helping hand for every- one. For his sterling character, his keen insight and practical advice, and his noble life, james W. Estes shall always live in our memories.

111, 'fc ,J MRS. VIRGINIA DOFFLEMYER Dedication We can easily see in the lives of our forefathers the quali- ties which go to make up a well-liked, agreeable personal- ity-the qualities which mean most in association with others. Kindness, unselfishness, understanding, and sincerity head the list. These qualities are as important today as ever and are essential for success in the future. In our school, We have a person who exemplifies all of these qualities-one who is respected and beloved because of them. Her unbounded enthusiasm and exuberance are con- tagious, and quickly caught by all of those who come in contact with her. Her genuine interest in all the students is shown by the fact that she always has time for their pro- blems. She is ready to listen and counsel even in matters most trivial. Her ability as an organizer and leader is appar- ent as she bustles about school planning and preparing for numerous activities and meetings. Her friendly smile and cheerful greeting, her enthusiasm over a high College Board score or a college acceptance, her friendly advice about a college or career, her help with a schedule problem-all these traits further endear her to our hearts. It is with deep admiration and affection that the Senior Class of '62 dedicates our yearbook, The Peer, 1962, to one who serves us so faithfully-as a beloved teacher . . . Mrs. D . . in Action a patient counselor and a sympathetic friend- MRS- VIRGINIA DOFFLEMYER-

'Q 'E gaculty And Administration Looking into the past we find that Thomas Ief- ferson once said, We owe it to do, not what would perish with ourselves, but what would remain to be respected, and preserved through other ages. Thom- as Jefferson, writer of the Declaration of Independ- ence and architect of the University of Virginia, left something of importance to the generations of to- day. In the present year, 1962, with rockets and atomic bombs prevalent in our lives, it is necessary that each member of the faculty of Albemarle High School work to their utmost to create an educated and cultured generation of young people that shall be preserved and respected for many years. Each year hundreds of students come under the instruction of the faculty who have the power to mold their character. And someday this same fac- ulty will look with pride upon these outstanding citizens.
