Qrewor The world stands out on either side No wider than the heart is wide, Above the world is stretched the sky,- No higher than the soul is high. The heart can push the sea and land Farther away on either hand, The soul can split the sky in two And let the face of God shine through. Edna St. Vincent Millay Yes, the world stretches out ahead of us. We know, too, that Progress is the law of Life, the lamp of experience by which we are guided. If we think of our progress in the past, our ad- vancement in the future cannot falter. Sincerely believing this to be true, we of the Senior Class have chosen Progress as the theme of our annual. We hope to prove ourselves worthy of the world that stands open to us by working dili- gently to fulfill our ambitions and to reach our goals.

THE SCHOOL BUILDING HISTORY OF BROAD CREEK VILLAGE SCHOOLS Broak Creefk' Village, a housing project built by the Federal Government in 1942 to provide homes for war workers in the Norfolk area, is now in the process of being reconverted to a normal peace time residential community. Its usefulness has not diminished since the 2600 housing units are all occufpied. Thus, the Village serves to ease the current national housing shortage in this area. Located in Norfolk County, just outside the city of Norfolk between Virginia Beach Boule- vard and Princess Anne Road, the Village is a clean, well kept, and attractive residential Community. It has its own fire and police protection, a public library, well equipped recreational facilities and a well organized recreational program is in operation. The Village has its own shopping center and a post office. The Village has been provided with a modern school plant, consisting of one eleven room elementary buildingg a combination elementary and high school build- ing of thirty six roomsg and seven housing units set aside for a nursery school and the home economics department. All school facilities are identified as Broad Creek Village Schools. The Village 1'esidents have come here to live from thirty-odd states of the union and several foreign countries. The greatest problem of all concerned has been the reconciliation of their varied backgrounf's so that each individual might contribute to the improvement of both schools and community. Broad Creek Village faces the future with uncertainty but there is no lessening of civic pride among its residents. It is evident to all observers that the people of this com- munity would like to make their permanent homes here. That is our theme as both school and community strive to ma'ke our community a still better place in which to live.
