IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES WHEN THE EDU- CATION OF FUTURE GENERATIONS IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE IN THE PRESER- VATION OF THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE IT IS AN HONOR TO SALUTE YOU AND YOUR SCHOOL ON ITS SILVER ANNIVERSARY WITH I AM SURE MANY GOLDEN YEARS TO COME. YOUR DEDICATION TO THE PRINCIPLES THAT HAVE MADE AMERICA THE GREATEST CIVILI- ZATION THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN WILL BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE AS IT IS TODAY. ASSEMBLYMAN CHARLES J. CONRAD, SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE OF THE ASSEMBLY CONGRATULATIONS ON THE OCCASION OF YOUR 25TH ANNIVERSARY AND THE SERVICE YOU ARE RENDERING TO THE COMMUNITY. SENATOR JOHN L. HARMER We all had a wonderful time celebrating the growth of our school from the tiny beginning of sixty-nine students to the present enrollment of nearly five-hundred, not including our sister school of Argyll Episcopal Academy for Girls! We are proud, not only because it has grown in numbers, but also because of its high scholastic standing. The very thoughtful and kind parents pre- sented Dr. Alexander Campbell, who was the founder and inspiring guide of our beloved school, with an order for a full Scottish outfit of the Argyll dress tartan! Miss Hawks, who has been the principal of the school since its found- ing, and who, with the dedicated teachers, has been responsible for the scholastic standards of the school, was presented with a beautiful Hamilton watch, engraved to commemorate this important day. Miss Diana Wootton, the Regis- trar of our school for over twenty years, cele- brated not only the birthday of Campbell Hall, but her own birthday as well! Her unswerving devotion to the school and her work and friendly kindness to students, parents, and faculty, were a great contribution to the well-being of the school through the years! She was presented with a beautiful framed colored photograph of the view outside the office window. We wish to thank all the parents whose un- swerving devotion to the school helped bring it to the conclusion of twenty-five years of success- ful growth, so that we all may look forward to the years ahead with the expectation of continued growth in character and quality.

VB l?. Ldn f)e Junior J igfj School THE FIRST CONTINENTAL CONGRESS In September, 1774, the First Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia. There were delegates from twelve of the original thirteen colonies. Georgia did not send any. Fifty-six distinguished men came to this congress and Samuel Adams, John Adams, George Washington, and Patrick Henry were four of them. For seven long weeks the delegates debated. Many wanted independence from Great Britain, but did not say so openly. So they drew up several papers that stated the rights of the people. The dele- gates also pleaded to the British king and to his people asking that all the unfair laws passed since the French and Indian War be forgotten. But they didn ' t pay any attention to the delegates. Then the delegates organized a Continental Association that pledged the colonists not to buy any goods from England and not to sell any goods to England until Britain changed its policies. Commit- tees were set up in all the colonies to see that this pledge was enforced. Then to meet again the next year the delegates went home to wait further developments. Cathy Blanco Grade 7
