...we’ll never forget The purpose of any school is to impart knowledge and increase wisdom. Students at China Grove worked dili¬ gently this year to achieve these goals. The library at times resembled Grand Central Station. Filled to capacity all during the day, it was a haven for term paper researchers, book report worms, and maga¬ zine browsers. Bible classes studied the Old Testament, history of the Jewish people, and the life of Christ. With projects, students shared learning and pursued particular interests. With the advent of satellites and nuclear achieve¬ ments, science has become increasingly important. In Chemistry, students learned the laws governing natural forces and gravity. Perhaps some future scientists were launched on a career. Within these walls there was also something more than purely curricular activity. All phases of life were repre¬ sented here from politics to Olympics. Victory had the same sweet taste to the Student Council governor as to the one who governs from the White House. Winning a game against a larger team was as thrilling to the China Grove Red Devils as winning the World Series is to a baseball team. These are only a few examples of routine at China Grove High School. Daily, students met new challenges and came upon new frontiers of learning. Whether they surpassed all others in the task or merely served as fol¬ lowers, they were constantly building for the future and striving for success. 10
