Principalls Message Members of the class of 1960, the privilege of ex- tending greetings to you is an experience that affords me great joy. I share the pleasure that must be yours and those dear to you because of the completion of your secondary education. At the time of your graduation, greater emphasis is being placed upon education than in any previous period in our history. The level of general education has risen so much since you were born that mediocrity will soon evidence a degree of training that years ago would mark one as a well-educated person. Recent explosive scientific achievements have created new products and new jobs, thereby creating a demand for the acquisition of new skills and tech- niques. It is reasonable to assume that some of you may earn your living in a trade or profession that was non-existent at the time you entered high school. These amazing advancements should constitute a re- freshing challenge to the youth of today,s world. Join forces with those who are seeking new metholds, new goals, and new truths. The years that are yours afford the time to ade- quately prepare yourselves for some form of gainful occupation. Decide to give the time and labor that 'TBack of the job a the dimmer true? W. D. Scales, Principal competency demands, for industry is an inescapable ingredient of the recipe of success. Your fulfilhnent cannot be realized from the pur- suits of the sciences and arts alone. Time has vindi- cated the wisdom of extending brotherly affection, one towards another. Seek to know the manifest power that lies in service, the courage associated with meekness, and the bravery to be found in humility. Remember with kindly affection those whose pleas- ures have been few because of the sacrifice and con- cern they have given to your upbringing. Your present status is due not so much to your own merit, as to those who have sustained and guided you through the years. Vast though the sum total of manis knowledge may be, many facets of the unknown continue to defy successful research. The Administration and Staff of your school have attempted to ignite your lamp of learning, and we hereby charge you to carry your light so that those who follow may better see. We have no valedictory for you. A thousand to- morrows will serve only to heighten our interest in knowing that you are still dynamically determined to fathom more. I'Vho is making the dream' come -- Braley

Mrs. Effie Mae Green Director of Guidance, Dean of Girls Greetings to the Class of 1960 Since we greeted you as eighth graders, you have grown into early adulthood. Each of you has profited by his high school experiences in accord with his personal- ity, interests, and abilities. Remember that your role in society is important to your own and succeeding gen- erations. ttIf you can dream and not make dreams your master . . . Yours is the earth and everything thatls in it . . . May God bless you and keep you. 3! Yet after brick and stone are gone, And flexh and blood and dust. the dream live: on? e- S cruggs G. Wesley Raney, Jr. Assistant Principal To have seen your dream of graduation come true deserves my heartiest congratula- tions. Dreams donlt end with one accomplishment or two or three! From this day on, what you achieve will depend on how diligently you work for the things-you want most. Dream a rewarding career; dream a happy home; dream a wholesome community in which others, like you, may some day dream; dream a richer, nobler life for yourselves. And, to add substance to the dream, WORK that all your dreams will become realities. Mrs. Nancy Carter Assistant Director of Guidance Advisor to Seniors Congratulations on the choice of your year- book theme, ilFor a Dreamls Sake.n Without dreams our lives would indeed be barren. In the haste of todayis living too many of us have ruled out dreams as impractical. Yet, I am reminded of Edgar Allan Poels words, uThose who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream by night.w Dreams hold our ambitions, hopes, and de- sires for the future. May the dreams of the graduation class of 1960 help make our world a better place in which to live.
