FeO) OHA ln, Miss Hammock's radiant personality is well known to her students. Throughout her years at B.H.S., this teacher has faithfully and unselfishly givenher talents and skills to the service of her students. Besides teaching French J and French II, Senior Eng- lish, and other academic courses, she has accepted the great responsibility as sponsor of various clubs andclasses. In recent years as sponsor of the Junior Class, she has accepted with a sense of duty and dedication the responsibilities given to her in this position. Her vigor, encouragement, and enthusiasm have inspired many B.H.S. juniors to plan and execute excellent Junior-Senior Proms. Her friendly and warm personality have caused her to become a beloved and respected teacher by all who know her. We, the IVY Staff of 1964, with a great deal of pride and joy do dedicate this annual to Miss Martha Hammock.

FACULTY CLASSES CLUBS FEATURES ATHLETICS ADVERTISEMENTS FOREWORD The IVY is proud to present as its theme Blackstone High School's new coat of arms, de- signed by Mary Virginia Hurt of the Class of '63. Each symbol on the emblem represents some part of our school life here at B.H.S. A wreath of ivy leaves surrounds it, while the crest, a ram's head, stands for our mascot, the Black- stone Ram. It is only natural that the emblem contains a lamp of learning which is continually burning from the time of birth to the time of death. The scroll, designating the past or the classics which have become a part of our herit- age, is contrasted with the open book that denotes the modern learning which surrounds us, Be- side the book is scientific equipment that brings tomindthe ever growing and intriguing world of science. Finally, the motto, 'Let knowledge in- crease,'' expresses our purpose as students. Thru your days at B.H.S. may the coat of arms be a reminder of your responsibility to yourself, to your friends, and to your school; and may its symbols interpreted in THE IVY re- mind you of the aspirations we shared this year at Blackstone High School.
