PRINCIPAL Principal’s message: 1961 is unique because its figures can be inverted, but like every other year, week and day, it is unique too in that it happens just once. Other days and years we may have, but we never get a second chance at the opportunities of any one day or year. This troubled world badly needs young people who will be alert to their opportunities, boys and girls of ideas and ideals with the courage and ambition to make their lives count for good. We are confident that the Charlotte graduates of 1961 will do their full part. Glenn M. Denison

Have you noticed that the numbers 1961 remain 1961 when read upside down? Since this is a rare phenomenon, the Class of 1961 is proud to claim it as a symbol of their own uniqueness. There will never again be a class such as ours, with exactly the same individual accomplishments and exactly the same ex- periences. The theme of the 1961 Witan is not anything that iay happened, not anything that will happen. but things that are happening. This year marks an end and a b i achieved from a background of laughter shared, of bois- terous song and quiet study, of understanding friends and exciting new ideas. Although we face unknown responsibilities, we are privileged to live in a unique time. This is the year from which all our efforts stem; the most wonderful year of all. We hope that 100 years from now—no—1000 years from now. men will say of our class, “They have done their best for their God. their country, and their fellow- men.

ADVISORS Miss Margaret Miner Alton Frasch “Have you mailed your application yet?” “Is there some reason why you weren’t in school yesterday?” “I realize you don’t agree with this teacher, but don’t you believe...” These and other tactful remarks are familiar to all members of the Class of 1961. They are patiently repeated day after day by our advisors, Mr. Charles Gates, Miss Margaret Miner, and Mr. Alton Frasch. Wisely guiding us through the throes of seventh grade and the pseudo- sophistication of twelfth grade, these three advisors have gained our deepest admira- tion and respect. Thus the Class of 1961 gratefully acknowledges the debt of thanks owed to our advisors for their understand- ing kindness. Charles D. Gates
