Barry High School - Yr Rab Yearbook (Barry, IL)

FOREWORD The idea of education is as eternal as the heavens. Since man's creation he has been learning and he will continue to learn throughout the ages to come if he is to survive. This learning must be sought; one cannot sit and wait for it if he is to be successful in the days to come, for such are the dictates of competition. One must live each day of the present as a day of preparation for tomorrow. In a high school, students can prepare for tomorrow by utilizing fully the tools that the high school presents. All situations, be they election for the homecoming queen or the results of a laboratory experiment, offer learning opportunities. It is the responsibility of the high school student to utilize these learning situations. Besides being a center of learning, the high school is a place where lasting friendships are made and where the everyday events add to one's store of practical experience. Many time we find situations which unite the present with the future. It is then that we realize that everything we do, large or small, is connected in some way with our futures, our tomorrows. We want this, the 1964 YRRAB, to represent your present. We would also like for our yearbook -- when the years have passed and your tomorrows have become realities rather than dreams -- to recall your successes and failures, your happinesses and sorrows, when you worked and played under the protective SPIRIT OF THE BARRY TIGER.

To these fine teachers who retired from the Barry Schools June 1st, 1962, we respectfully dedicate this annual. To have known them was an inspiration and to have learned from them a pleasure. Mrs. Alice Franklin came to the Barry Community in 1949 when her husband became Superintendent of Schools. She taught both in the ele- mentary as well as the high school. By her high standards of produc- tion as well as her warm personality she has made a never-fading im- pression on the youth of this generation in Barry. Basil Williams, a native of our community, taught school at Barry and El Dara as well as elsewhere in Pike County for forty - three years. Mere words cannot express adequately the impact of this gentleman on the hundreds of young people who learned from him through formal instruction as well as by his living example of the creeds which guide his life. The Spirit of the Barry Tiger is deeply indebted to these and the many other fine teachers who have expected and achieved high academic standards for our school.
