The year just ending has brought many new opportunities for development to students at Blue Ridge. In addition to the usual class work and athletic activities, seniors have participated in much of the dormitory routine, and all stu¬ dents have shared responsibilities in the dining room and in the upkeep of buildings and grounds. As they have discharged these obliga¬ tions, the students have become more mature and more understanding of adult responsibilities. Particularly has this been true of the members of the Annua! staff, who, in addition to their regular duties, have given much time and energy to the preparation of this book. For their faith¬ ful and tireless efforts, and for their competence and zeal in producing a valid record of the school year, they have our grateful commenda¬ tion. Their greatest reward, however, lies in the realization that they have performed well their parts and have made a worthy contribution to this, the fifty-first year of their alma mater. In so doing they have furthered their own educa- Mr. Singletary. My message in this, the 1965 edition of the Blue Ridge Annual, is to the Senior Class. My debt to you personally and as an administrator of this school is great. You have taken a difficult task and have done it well. Traditions that you have started will live on here at the school for many years to come. The job has been trying at times and there have been various areas of disagreement, but when cooperation was needed, then cooperation was given. I think the most profound thing that I can say is. Thank You. Mr. Preston. 6
