The members of the Athens Area Joint School Board congratulate the graduating class of 1959. This congratulation, like the quality of mercy , is twice blessed. It is your success that justifies the action of the board members, who, as the elected representatives of the people of our combined districts, must tax and provide educational facilities. To us, your success is the only reward we seek or get. Our contact with the student body is through the carefully selected faculty we provide. So it is that you know little of us, but we know much of you. Your immediate needs are the board's responsibility. Your hopes and desires become our challenge for future developments in the school system. Both your ingenuity and your rascality reflect in our annual budget. Though apparently apart, we are closer together at times than either of us realize. We take no haven in that trite old retort When we were your age Once-'we lived the same chronological years, but in this rapidly expandingtworld we never were your age, for yours is a new and remarkable age which time denied us at your stage of development. You have more facilities than we had and you need them. You have more social, political and intellectual responsibility than we had, and you have accepted it. ln short, you are the body and soul of what is to be. We hope we have been good stewards of that portion of your lives allocated to our trust. We, the members of the board, wish each of you the good fortune and ambition that con- stitute success. We congratulate you again on using your high school heritage in such a manner that is now a richer gift to bequeath to those who shall follow you in the coming years. Pres. Athens Area Joint School Board

Mr. Richard Marvin, Supervising Principal Life might be compared to a series of stairs. At the foot of each stair unit is a landing. This landing must be reached prior to making any attempt at climbing the succeeding series. At the present time with your status at graduation one might say you have been on three major stair landings. The first was the point at which you stood twelve years ago upon entering school. Considering each individual step as a grade, you reached the next landing upon completion of the sixth grade and prior to entering junior-senior high school. Then during the following years you again climbed steadily until you arrived at that landing on which you stand at graduation time. This present achievement you should in no way consider final. There are many more such landings now within your grasp. Strive to attain this next landing. When you reach it, immediately continue your climb, for with each successive landing, new doors, new thoughts and new possibilities will be opened to you. This stairway may surely be called, 'A Stairway to the Stars . All mankind travels this way. We reach for a star, yet when it is reached, we seek out another and strive to attain it. This seems the only way to gain self-satisfaction. As you climb, remember one thing. The only place success is ahead of work is in the dictionary! Congratulations, and whether your climb be rapid or slow, always continue. The education you have received will be of great assistance to you as you continue ever upward. Supervising Principal 7XD,.s,L..1duf WMM Mrs Celia Arnold Ms I-lelen Truesdale
