Blackstone High School - Ivy Yearbook (Blackstone, VA)

We, the Ivy staff of 1958-59, dedicate this annual to Hugh Yelverton III. Hugh was an outstanding member of his class and the class feels that he should be a part of their last year. In the goodly heritage that we derive from our school, Hugh exemplifies the high standards set before us. He was well-liked by the fac ilty and student body because of his willingness to cooperate and of the spirit in which he worked. He was not only an out- standing student scholastically, but he was an active and interested participant in church activities. Sportsmanship composed a natural part of his daily life. Like the average teen- ager, he enjoyed his friends and their activities. He had a warm, deep relationship with his family which was important to him. Blackstone High School pays this tribute to Hugh in recognition of the ideals of life that he opened to us-- standards that open the pages of our annual to you. Dedication Hugh Yelverton III 3

foreword I At each commencement as the Valedic- tory ends, a solemn, expectant hush comes over the auditorium. Then an honor grad- uate rises and hands to the Junior presi- dent a lighted torch, the symbol of school leadership. In this way, one class passes to another the responsibility of upholding and cherishing the ideals that are a part of our life at Blacksto ne High School. The torch represents for us the standards of scholarship, of friendship, of sportsman- ship, and of honorable achievement that are our heritage as students here. Just as each runner in the old Greek relay race must hand on to the next an un- dimmed torch, so each generation of stu- dents becomes the guardian of the spirit of our school. We hope that the Class of ' 59 has proved worthy of that trust and that this volume of the Ivy will be a fit- ting record of our achievement.
