MR. J. H. DUNCAN — Fifteen Mr. J. H. Duncan, after a eareer in education, has served as principal of Byrd High School for fifteen years. During this period he has devoted his time and effort unselfishly in our be- half; he has inspired us to try for the highest goals possible in every field. He has become the embodiment of Jacket Pride, inspiring and keeping alive that spark of spirit which has become so much a part of us and our school. The ideals of J. H. Duncan will forever reside in Byrd and in the hearts of its countless individuals. The educational standards he has set and the principles he has laid down will be a vital influence in our lives, for his sincere dedication and loyalty, his deep concern will be remembered even when Byrd is only a memory to us. Although he will no longer be physically present to guide us, we, and those to come after us, will “keep on keeping on” as he has taught us by his every thought and action through his long years of devoted service. Mr. Duncan, at far right, salutes the colors during a federal R.O.T.C. inspection. He has lent his wholehearted support to every facet of student activities throughout the years. J. H. DUNCAN B.A.—Trinity University M.A.—University of Texas One of his more pleasant duties was the presentation of the many awards and certificates eamed each year in all areas. Mr. J. H.
