Jack C. Berryhill, superintendent Although this is Mr. Giffen's first year here, he has already earned the reputa- tion of being an efficient, hard-working, and deeply dedicated principal. His quiet manner and kindly smile have made him popular with students and teachers, and his office is always open to those who need counseling. During the thirty-three years I have been associated with the Barnesville Schools, many teachers and pupils have passed through the doors of Barnesville High. Many of these people have found B.H.S. a pleasant place to teach and a pleasant place to go to school. Year in and year out the student body has always been top-level caliber. It has always been a pleasure to work with boys and girls of this type . Of course, the children usually reflect their parental upbringing. Since becoming superintendent, I, along with the Board of Education, have always strived to give the school the best teachers and the best school pro- gram available and still live within our budget. It is my desire that the high academic levels always be maintained and that the staff members continue to be dedicated in their work. From teaching in a tiny one-room schoolhouse, Mr. Giffenadvanced to var- ious other positions in several other schools. In recent years he has held positions as principal at Union Local and Shenandoah as well as in his home town of Bethesda. I am proud that there are so many of our graduating senior class planning to continue their education. This speaks well for the school, the parents, and the community. To the parents especially I offer my congratulations for having the vision of the future in our space age—a time when students will need more than a high school can offer. To all the seniors I wish the best in the future. May success crown whatever efforts you endeavor. I am again proud and happy to be a part of this total program. 6 James F. Giffen, high school principal
