A principal has a unique place in a society. He must face the problems of an entire com¬ munity. His position requires greatness in the making of decisions, in the projection of broad vision, in the solving of problems, and in remaining big in the face of criticism. Colonel Eanes possesses these qualities of greatness which enable him to make wise decisions which often are not the easiest, to see beyond the present and plan for the crucial educational demands of the future, to tackle problems which do not have quick and easy solutions, and to maintain personal dignity in all adversity. We know him as a person whose principles and integrity have served both him and each oi us as a guide in our education and daily life. We will always remember him and are deeply grateful for his loyalty to the student body, his guidance, his leadership through the years, and his unfaltering faith in us. His desire to give and receive knowledge has been expressed through the endless hours which he has devoted to the students. Any problem, large or small, always gets the same friendly, in¬ telligent consideration. During the years his love grows and radiates into the life of every pupil. His ideals of character and honesty offer a life-long pattern for honor and success. He is one who has a great faith, hope, and trust in young people as individuals of honor. The high standards which he has set for himself in his life are those which he unceasingly aids the student to achieve. He has infused all that we have done with his deep understanding, patience, wisdom, and genuine friendship. Becauseof his high purposes, sincerity, and warm personality which have won the admiration and loyalty of us all, we proudly and affectionately, dedicate the 1965 CHARLES CITIAN to Colonel Edward W. Eanes. mV-.

yicfmimsirciiuj 2 Mr. Edward W. Eanes Mr. Byrd Long Dear Seniors: You are now leaving this school, perhaps, with a feeling that you have suddenly grown up and are entering the door of adulthood. Youth and youthful things are now to become mere mem¬ ories. May I remind you, however, that youth is not a time of life but a state of mind. One of the greatest credits you can bring to this school is to keep your youth as a quality of the imagina¬ tion and a vigor of the emotions. From such youthfulness ever comes those true qualities of greatness - the triumph of courage over timidity and a continuing appetite for adventure over the love of ease. Always remember that years of age is not your true age. You grow old only when you have deserted your ideals. Time may wrinkle your skin but not your soul. Your love of wonder and for the joy of the game of life will continue your youthful zest for life. Remain receptive to beauty, hope, cheer, courage, grandeur and power from the infinite, and you will never be aged by pessimism or cynicism. Maturity is not an aging process, but, rather, a matter of sound judgment, balanced emotions, and a will toward true goodness. We who remain here have faith in your ability to remain young in spirit. Sincerely, Edward W. Eanes Principal Mrs. Lois Richmond Miss Sue Ayres Mrs. Ann Gerheart 6
