And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep. Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell. When 1 embark; For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Peace The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.

Our students this year, on tours and trips, have made a favorable im- pression, not only for themselves, but for the entire school. Y ou, the students, have made this a good year. I can remember 1969-70 as one of the more pleasant years of school. Superintendent TUB SCHOOL BUNNIMS SMOOTHLY Dear Students: It has been my pleasure to be your principal at Alton the past four years. When I think of how fast time flies and how fast things are changing, I wonder what will come next. As youth of today work, think, and dream, we can be sure there is plenty of change in the offing. There are things with which you are not satisfied. Think seriously about these problems and decide what you should do about them. I am sure your answers will be new and different, but so will the world in which you have your careers, homes, families, and interests. I sincerely hope we have given you some help in making your decisions. _—Sincerely, Carl Williams Principal Mills and Mrs. Sizemore, better known as kool-aides, assist teachers and take of- fice correspondence.

The highlight of the party was the crowning of Janet Shelton as Miss Santa Claus. The F. H. A. nominated Janet as their candidate from die Senior Class, and was later voted on by secret ballot. The caroling was enjoyed by all the students even though flashlights had to be used to read the music. Lester Jett and Janet Shelton began the dancing after refreshments had been served. Members of the older generation also enjoyed the dancing and fun. A huge Christmas tree in the background accents the scene, as Lester presents Janet with a beautifully wrapped gift. 117 VALENTINE'S DAY WAS SUCCESSFUL Mary Kay Tucker was the Science Club candidate. Beta Club sponsored Charlotte Williams. Debbie Guffey, chosen by the FFA, was elected as Miss Valentine. There were relay races before and a sock hop after the crowning. Activities were varied and the scene was funny for Valentine's 1970. Glenna Wheeler was FHA's Miss Valentine candidate. Mary Dallstream was chosen as Safety Club's candidate.

The banquet was held in the high school cafeteria and the dance was held in the grade school gymnasium. The theme Three Coins in a Fountain was carried throughout the banquet with decorated napkins, favors, and programs. The grade school gymnasium was de- corated for the occasion with dim lights, music, and a gorgeous water fountain with its radiant shower of liquid diamonds spouting high into the air. As one gazed into the limpid pool his subconscious automatically drifted back to that Old Chestnut - Three Coins in a Fountain. With the toss of the coins, the fondest wish were to come true. In they went - and one found himself wishing the wonder- ful evening would never end. This was a magnificent evening that will long be remembered by all who attended. 'TWR££ COfMS fN A FOUMAIN” Ronnie Jackman and Debbie White enjoyed dancing at the Junior-Senior Prom. The band. Main Stream from Springfield, was a far-out singing group. DECORATING FOR-THE PRO U IS FUN Phill Hall helps the Junior Class build a rose trellis. Brenda Roy and Vonda Murphy help put up the wall decorations. Graham, this isn't a football game; get back to work!!! Judy, don't just stand there; grab a board!!
