Dedication... A man of authority, yet one who understands; a man of humor, yet one who is wise; a scholar, yet one who loves spor t; a gentleman; a teacher. This is Mr. William Telford Turk, and to this man we dedicate our annual. Mr. Turk, who was born in Homer, Georgia, attended the University of Georgia where he received his A.B. degree. After this, he studied in France at the University of Rennes, later returning to his alma mater where he served as instructor in the Department of Romance Languages while completing work for the Masters degree. While a student at the University of Georgia he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, a national honor fraternity. Never satisfied with his own preparation in his chosen field, he has periodically continued study in institutions including his alma mater. Golumbia University, University of Alabama, and the University of Tennessee. Before coming to Blue Ridge in 1941, Mr. Turk taught at Peacock School, Atlanta, Georgia; Paris Junior Gollege, Paris, Texas; Rugby Academy, New Orleans, Louisiana; an d Sch¬ reiner Institute, Kerrville, Texas. In his twenty-four years as a member of the Blue Ridge faculty, Mr. Turk has become a beloved tradition, generously bestowing the light of his intellect and the warmth of his personal¬ ity upon one and all. Balancing sharpness of tongue, when needed, with constant and affec¬ tionate solicitude for the welfare of his students he has led, encouraged, and prodded generations of students into a respect for scholarship and a love of the classics. In their hearts remain cherished memories of one of whom it may truly be said that “gladly would he learn, and gladly teach.” 5

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
