This year marks the thirtieth anni versary of B.F. Grady High School. It has been the goal of the staff of THE OVERFLOW throughout the compilation of this book to remind its readers that education comes through a gradual process of enlightment. We have chosen as our theme for this annual Progress through Light , and we have tried to repre- sent this progress by comparing it to the miraculous changes which have evolved in our method of lighting during the past thirty years. The freshmen are beginners in high school and find their way with a candle; the sophomores have advanced to the use of a lantern in seeking the light of knowledge; the juniors use an oil lamp showing their progress in reaching the wonderful age of electricity; the seniors have used the electric lamp to represent their achievement of that goal of enlightment through knowledge. This objective has been attained in the four years they have labored at B.F. Grady. As our homes have progressed from candles to modern electric lighting so our school has taken the leadership in increasing the light of knowledge in this community. By the encouragement of its princi- pal, board members, faculty, and parents its students have achieved greater goals in life.
