dents, parents, teachers, employees, and ad- ministratorsj work together, this can develope into a very fine school system. You can look forward to new facilities, to updated programs, to an excellent teaching staff, and to anumber of pupil services which are not now being offered. You can expect and should receive an education CK through 125 that compares favorably to any in this area. I don't mean to infer that you are not now receiving an adequate education, but I am convinced that we can appreciably improve your educational program. If the District is to grow and to prosper, then all areas of the Buckeye Local District must be willing to give and take. Do not become impatient and expect too much too quickly. Time will be required, much serious thought and planning is necessary and must precede any contemplated physical changes. All of the necessary ingredients for agood school system are here. Let's try to put these ingredients together and work toward an edu- cational program of which we can all be proud. In closing I wish to extend to all of you my best wishes for a successful school year and my special congratulations to the grad- uating class of 1966. To you seniors as you go out into the adult world, and to you under- graduates, my sincere wish for a productive and happy future. Sincerely, MR. FRED. B. Lone Superintendent of Buckeye Local School District We must be willing to Give and Take Bear Siuhents, It's rather ironic that I should be welcoming you to the newly created Buckeye Local School District. Ironic, because most of you have been here for a number of years and I have been here for just a short time. Without you and other young people throughout the immediate area, there could have been no consolidated school district. For most of you boys and girls of present high school age there will be very little immediate change in the schools and school activities, but for the younger studenm there can be much excitement in store. As you probably already know, this new District is composed of Adena, Brilliant, Dillonvale, Harrisville, Mt. Pleasant, Smithfield, and Yorkville. At present there are approximately 4000 students. Naturally, I am quite pleased to be serving as superintendent of this 2 unique and worthwhile consolidation. Istrongly believe that if we all Qstu- Aix b 'q l UA

From the Office of the Principal On coming to Brilliant it has been my pleasure to find a competent staff with a desire to please and to be cooperative. May the serving of our youthbe rewarding both to us, as a faculty, and to them: in the knowledge that we are playing an integral part in their future, hence, the future of the world, in theway for which we are each best prepared. To you the Faculty, each day should be a new chal- lenge met with patience and understanding. We find knowledge once won cannot be lost. We in America possess a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of our public education and to grow in knowledge. We are faced with a National Challenge for World Survival and the balance of knowledge hangs on learning and of our taking advantage of the many opportunities given us. To each graduating senior: When you as an individual plan to continue your education, it speaks well for your school, parents, and community. Congratulations are due both the parents and students for having the vision of the future in this Space Age. Having a goal in life is amost important factor. The qualities necessary for attaining this goal are the willing- ness to work, the ability to get alongwith people, and the art of finding pleasures in the ordinary events of the day. So have a specific goal! Belive in your ability to reach it! Work now! And keep at it! Then may your every en- deavor be rewarding. Sincerely, Jack C. Berryhill ,, MR. JACK C.
