With the same spirit, we can reach outstanding goals in every endeavor. My sincere thanks to everyone who has had any part in making this book a success. May every organization of A- very High be equally successfulI Your friend. Guy Lemmond PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Most of us are the cause of our own failure; through the thoughts we think, and the work we do, we make our lives what we want them to be. This is a saying taken from a book I read some time ago, and it certainly express- es what I wish to say to you. I wish to express my appreciation to the annual staff and their sponsor, Mrs. Graves, for doing such a splendid job on our 1949-50 annual. Your friend. Johnnie Henderson ROBERT WARDELL Voc.
