Shall I go to college or work? How shall I pre- pare for life? These are questions for deep thought for all students, particularly the seniors. Coun- seling Linda Meade is Mr. Sabo. Holding their first election in the cafeteria, the seniors show much concern who will be the class officers for 1961-62. By the show of hands, we can see it is not unanimous. Randall Blackstone, Shirley Hobbs, Judith Bradley, and Delores Sutherland are decorating the bulle- tin board, giving emphasis to the opening of school. They seem to be doing a good job. ALL OF THIS IS OUR SCHOOL

IN MEMORIAM Mr. B. C. White Bom October 1, 1888 Died July 20, 1961 Mr. Frank E. Harr Born August 21, 1891 Died July 31, 1961 FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES MOURN THE PASSING OF TWO MEN THIS YEAR Mr. White came to Russell County in 1924 as principal of Temple Hill High School and held that position for twelve ye ars. After resign- ing his teaching career, he devoted most of his time to orcharding. He served on the Board of Supervisors for many years, where he served most capably and was a recognized authority on its many complex problems. It was during this time he pioneered bus transportation in Russell County and led the campaign to build a new high school and ele- mentary school at Castlewood. For this task the county could not have found a man more dedi- cated to the cause. Today we enjoy this modern new building. The words of Daniel Webster describe his teaching career as expressed by a former student: If we work upon marble, it will perish. If we work upon brass, time will efface it. If we rear temples, they will crumble to dust. But if we work upon men ' s immortal mind, if we imbue them with high principles, with the just fea r of God and love of their fellow men, we engrave on those tablets something which no time can efface, and which will brighten and brighten to all eternity. Mr. Frank Harr, a modest softspoken man was indeed a born leader and a modern pioneer. He loved people and found room for them in his heart. He served on the Russell County School Board almost fourteen years. Here his deep in- terest lay in the betterment of all educational fields. No man, it is said, is indispensable. The void is soon filled by another. Yet each man leaves his own mark-a mark which cannot be re- placed or erased. So it is with Mr. Harr. M
