Claremont High School - Hickory Log Yearbook (Hickory, NC)

A SENIOR HOMEROOM becomes one of the final collages of personalities for third year classmen as their high school years dwindle into the past and life's challenge is only a step into the future. Excelling in Scholastics, Ushering in 4-A Com- petition as Varsity Players - '70 Seniors Honored We, the members of the LOG Staff, dedicate the 1970 HICKORY LOG to you, the senior class. You have excelled in scholastics, with five merit finalists, three nominees for armed forces academies, a state winner who represented North Carolina in a national contest, and many scholarship recipients. Even though you began your varsity sports in the more competitive 4-A division, you have produced players prominent in both the conference and state. Others of you were out- standing because you thought of ways to improve student involve- ment in both school and commu- nity. But the ideas could not have been carried out without those of you who stood behind them and made them work. At the same time however, you overlooked other situations and opportunities which might have benefitted from your interest. Nevertheless, because your accomplishments were widespread and because you wanted to accom- plish, it is especially to the mem- bers of the senior class who have given something of themselves to the school, who have accepted chal- lenge, who have challenged them- selves and others to excel, and who have expressed their ideas, that we dedicate this book, a permanent re- minder of your high school life. 11 . est eg-iot A 'L , 'QQ '?i5t.vO'5 kwfllql' pftlllitj L .
