Jill, age 5, sitting by her Mother, is a dimunitive blue-eyed blonde, who talks a mile a minute. Jamie, age 20 months, a petite brunette with big brown eyes, is snuggled by her Dad. These two charm- ing young ladies are quite an inspiration to their Dad and help to make the pleasant smile you see each time you meet him. Mrs. Petty iwilmal' also contributes much to his pleasant disposition and cheerful manner. The four of them share a lovely home on Route 3, Shelby, in the Poplar Springs Community, which is complete with a dog, cat, chickens, cows, horses, ponies, ducks, and even guinea fowls. The Pettys are active members of Poplar Springs Baptist Church, where Mr. Petty is a deacon and teaches a Sunday School class each Sunda'y. We are proud to present our first family to you. 9 ADMINISTR TI E STAFF M . ' I I 4' , .A -511395 .gy- I I , it nf Nl . QRI as ,4 -dt .il .M ' ALICE F. TIGNER Librarian 10 D.

The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fears for himg But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. Old man, said a fellow pilgrim near, You are wasting strength with building here, Your journey will end with the ending day, You never again must pass this wayg You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide Why build you the bridge at the eventide? The builder lifted his old gray head: Good friend, in the path I have come, he said There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim, Good friend, I am building a bridge for him.' -Will Allen Dromgoole THE BRIDGE PHOTOGRAPH ER LAYOUT ,,.. COPY ..... ART ..... ADVISOR ..A...
