LEADERSHIP Wisdom in mind and spirit and the ability to lead are qualities which must be developed within students during the phase of their lives extending from childhood to adulthood. In our personal bridge across this gap-Cherokee High School-these qualities are firm pillars supporting it and helping us to make the journey. While we-the students-are making the journey, Cherokee High offers opportunities for us to increase our knowledge and our understanding of the world. In the classes, by use of the reference in the library, and through the everyday happenings in the life of a student, we at Cherokee are prepared for our adulthood. But perhaps the most important area of wisdom attained is the personal leadership developed within the students themselves. Students with this leader- ship possess the strength of character to accept responsibilities in spite of their difficulties and to strive to fulfill them. Such outstanding work serves as a guide and an incentive to others. So, at Cherokee, qualities are being implanted within us-the students- which will be essential for us if in our adulthood we are going to lead success- ful, useful, and happy lives. The proud but surprised winners of Cherokee County's annual soil conservation essay contest-Max Brand, Robert Mann, and Teddy Porter-accept their awards.
