Efforts of the staff and the sponsor have been directed toward recreating the past year in pictures and print. We sincerely hope this annual will help you remember your accomplishments, failures, and pleasures and challenge you to build a better future. Its innovations are intended to create a more complete view of Ballard school life. Candid shots entered among the senior and junior class pictures illustrate this intention. For a more interesting advertising section we have placed shots of students and businesses in this division of our book. We have also added landscape scenes of Ballard County and photos of thepaint-ings hanging in our classrooms. The theme of our 1966 Bomb is Books”. Division pages, the contents page, and faculty philosophies on books tie our pages together, as these suggest the theme.

Through her devotion to education and her skill in mathematics, she has made an invaluable contribution to the attainment of the students attending Ballard Memorial High School. A charter member of our faculty, “Miss Ella Mae” retired at the end of the 1964-65 school year. Her enthusiasm, patience, and understanding in helping those in need of guidance have made her a student favorite. The vacant Room 11 pictured below helps us express the loss we feel in her absence. In sincere appreciation of these admirable qualities, we proudly dedicate the 1965-66 Bomb to Miss Ella Mae Megary. Sally Price 6 JU4i SS.

We appreciate their efforts to provide adequate physical facilities and competent instructors for our school system. Through their tireless efforts, they have expanded the curriculum and sought to promote the progress of education in our county. 8 ROBERT G.

These are Girls! What can I say? The illustrations on this page are reminders of the hard work and the good times the seniors have crowded into their last year at Ballard. Can anyone forget the costume Steve Wilson wore to the Senior Party, the frustration of preparing term papers, the utter confusion in memorizing passages from Macbeth, or rising early to go to Paducah Junior College to take the A.C.T. test? These memories we have tried to preserve here through pictures. 36 Activities and Achievements CAROL AYCOCK - Class Officer 1; A Cap-pella Choir 2, 3; F.T.
