“It is very diflicult to sum up my whole career of teaching in a few words. There were moments of deep personal satisfaction and happiness, as well as times of disappointment. However. I do know that the students of Belmont High School are a fine group of people who will succeed in all their future endeavors. I leave the high school with mixed emotions. I cn-: joyed teaching very much. After my retirement. I look forward to devoting more time to my family.” ■ “Mottoes are sometimes considered pretty old fashioned, but they can make a point in brief which may be used as a point of departure in a conversation or discussion. Such is the motto which has hung on the wall of my classroom ever since I came to Belmont to teach many years ago: ‘Get your happiness out of your work or you will never know what happiness is : i I have always believed this and hope a little of this philosophy has rubbed off on my students.”'

Mr. Albert J. Orton Dean of Boys Miss Dorothy M. Anderson Dean of Girls These years are very formative ones. Each day or even each minute we are discovering new ideas and avenues of learning. Through the conscious efforts of the guidance staff, we have acquired a sound, but diversified education. These three individuals have succeeded in bringing to realization our most meaningful goals, whether it be college or a vocation. Therefore, we, the class of 1966, are sincerely grateful to Miss Anderson. Mr. Orton, and Mr. Morgan for their advice and guidance. Because of their concern, our high school years have contributed significantly toward our growth and development. We will now be better prepared to meet the varying circumstances that shall arise with a clearer and more discriminating understanding. 7 Mr. Arthur Morgan Guidance
