FOREWORD “All the world's a stage And all the men and women Are merely players.' —Shakespeare. The curtain is going up! Bessemer High School is presenting with pride its first issue of THE SPOT LIGHT. Alter months of preparation and trepidation the stage is set. The purpose of this year book is to give our public an opportunity to see our school in action—just as it is with all its hopes, dreams, trials, and errors. The name, THE SPOT LIGHT, suggests a play with all its excite- ment and anticipation. Our students are the players and you, our public, make up the audience. We wish to depict our school life focusing the spot light upon classes, clubs, and sports. In these pages we shall re-enact for you the school’s most memorable events, enhancing the actors so that their performances while in school will live forever in the pages of this book. As the lights of the school year go down and the actors wait breath- lessly behind the curtain, we hope that as you turn the pages you will relive with us the joy and pride which we have experienced in compiling our annual. We hope too, that the future senior classes of Bessemer High School will keep THE SPOT LIGHT burning down through the years so that it may become a tradition and an inspiration to the students of tomorrow.
