Qfl ULU' Dear Students: My first word is one of appreciation for the fine young people who make up our student body. You are involved in a very important period in your own lives and one of deep interest to your parents and to your school. Aristotle once said: The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. Aristotle was saying, real enjoyment will come from a job well done--a task pursued to completion. Be sure that you are a good school citizen, that you are courteous and considerate, both in and out of school. Carry with you the good name of the school and your actions will reflect credit on it. Take pride in your school and its achievements, be loyal to the school and its traditions. Then Bluefield High School will be a better place because you have attended it. ,I Sincerely yours, R. L.
