We hope we never falter Or fall beneath our load. We’ll do our best through every day To do what we think right And always we will hold you near To be our guiding light. We wish to thank our faculty For helping us each day, We’ll also miss our classmates More than words can say. We wish them luck, success and joy And years free from pain. We hope it won’t be very long Before we meet again. And now the time has come to say, Goodbye to school days, dear We’ll ne’er forget those happy times We’ve known together here. Dear Botetourt, we say goodbye, With heads held up high Goodbye, our Alma Mater Goodbye, dear school, goodbye. By— Betty Jean Dunston “Through The Years’’ We ' ve finished our happy school days And our trials have just begun We’ve many roads to travel o’er And many battles to be won. We’ll each take our separate paths And go our separate ways But the memory of our years together Will always brighten the darkest days. We’ll think of our dear school In every sunsets glow She’ll always be there with our hearts And we will miss her so. Sometimes we’ll feel like giving up And our smiles may be replaced by tears But we know the helpful hand of Cod Will guide us safely through the years. By— Betty Jean Dunston 16

The Junior Class has really progressed this year. They have shown fine work in all activities in which they were in charge. The Juniors have a lot to look forward to for the coming year. Being a senior is the spotlight of high school days, although it is the last year to be in high school. Juniors, always remember that school days are the best days of life. After next year of school, you will be going out on your own to use the knowledge that has been taught you in your years of high school. So to you, Juniors, we say, “Good luck and smooth sailing.” CLASS OFFICERS Ralph Bristow President Jean Hogge Vice-President Peggy Deal Secretary Mary Dunn Treasurer Lillie Mae Walker Reporter 17
