PRINCIPAL Thomas D. Ferguson B.S., Samford University M.S., University of Alabama in Birmingham Ed.S., University of Alabama in Birmingham What lies ahead for the class of 1986? What joys and sorrows are in store? Certainly for the many highs you will experience there will be times of sorrow. You are going to be bumped. You are going to cry yourselves to sleep. You are going to learn the wonderful lesson through the years, the bumps, and the tears, that all these things somehow are necessary to promote our education. These bumps and hard knocks do not break the fiddle — they turn the pegs. These bumps and tragedies and waterloos draw the strings of the soul tighter and tighter, nearer and nearer to God's great concert pitch. Thus we know that our education is progressing as the evil and unworthy go out of our lives and as peace, harmony, happiness, love, and understanding come into our lives. That is getting in tune. That is growing up. 18

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Palmer Griffin B.S., Samford University M.Ed., University of Montevallo Ed.S., University of Montevallo The close of a busy school year is a good time to reflect on the year. This has been a good curricular year mixed with co-curricular activities. Albertville High has a sound footing in all types of activities and my hope is that all will grow withing their own right. There are students who are more zealous about their academics, attendance, and behavior than are others. As a part of a comprehensive high school, we wish to instill honesty, pride, and courtesy in all members of the student body. These are factors necessary for personal growth and the maintenance of a good educational environment. For the departing seniors — goodbye and good luck. For our returning students — Let's make each year better than the last. 19
