Miss Louise Tapp, Jo Dunbar, Nancy Clinard, Jean Craven, Becky Bradner, and Connie Newham realize that visits to colleges and universities for conven- tions make the dream of future life a reality. Even the everyday occurrence of leaving school changes, for each day students leave with more knowledge and a growth in maturity. l 3:sLI ' F nu.2f1'W1'L4s 4 In these times at 'High Point High, knowl- edge extended into new areas. Learning pro- ceeded at a furious rate, making complexity more complex every day. You surprised your- self by rising above your own limitations and accomplishing things of which you never would have thought yourself capable - you grew in maturity, You worked to keep old friendships in repair and to cultivate new ones - you grew in individualism. You learned that the advice of others was sometimes worth more than your own ideas - you grew in respect. With the compiling of more facts and the need for their use, you began to wonder about people, places, and things - you grew in alertness. Helping your- self by helping others made you have a feel- ing of achievement and responsibility - you grew in self-satisfaction. All the thousands of events you experienced and all the thoughts that passed through your mind made you want to learn more and more - you grew in ambition. You left High Point High, your friends, your classrooms, your influences, your life for three, and for some, four years. You left for new experiences in college, in business, in family relations. You carried with you new ideas and thoughts. This was a time for education - that you might be able to manage social, eco- nomic, and political affairs with wisdom, and to achieve peace, justice, and co-operation among men and nations. College Day gives Van Aulbert, Dickie Koontz, and Ashley Morris a chance to learn about State College, their choice for further education, from its representative. . feb

We first thought of our parents, who understood our anxieties, our infatuations, our foolish pride and our overflowing store of knowledge.' They gave their time to us constantly, be- cause it was the natural thing for them to do. In return, we gave them a portion of our time. I I Then we thought of our friends who gave more help and consideration than we could ever pay back, but we knew we had tried. We then remembered a group of people whom most of us had never thought about repaying - our teachers. We had always thought: Teachers only opened the door to education, we entered by ourselves. But next we wondered: Would we have entered that door, if a teacher had not opened it? To show our thanks and appreciation for being just what you are, we, the members of the Senior Class gratefully dedicate the 1961 Pemican to you, the teachers of High Point High - to you, who gave your time to us. bfofewifnjzae Mrs. Sowers and Miss Neely check in their time cards before leaving the office to go to their homerooms.
