We touch them. We feel them. They seep away like the sands In an hour glass. This was yesterday. Come and see what it looks like. Fill your eyes with sight and Drown your ears in the sound. You must be all you can be For the time is now and the day not Yesterday, but the afternoon of the Present. Love. Laugh. Grasp a cord of life and Donft let go. This is Today. Search the chambers and corridors of Your mind. Don't toss your dreams Into the wastebasket of sleep. Bring them into the sun with experience And knowledge to motivate your body and Soul. Look forward to life like a season. There will always be a spring to guide You through dark winters. This is your Tomorrow. Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. These are the three chapters of your life. Read the book and never be afraid to Add new pages. Unfold the meanings of your mind To secure lasting effects of life's sweet Vintage wine. Pam Freeland Mrs. W. Faye Whitford Secretary Mr. Donald Eberhard Mr. Keith Drake Mr. Raymond Dost Dr. Robert Smith President Mr. Udell Lepley Treasurer Mr. Wesley Saxman Vice President BOARD OF EDUCATION 3 Mr. Edgar A. Kelley, Principal 4 Mrs. Marilyn Velie, Mrs. Roberta Casselman, Mrs. Helen Engle, Mrs. Valetta Cummins, Mrs. Madeline Ackerman We, the 1969 Colon Magi Annual Staff and advisors, dedicate the 1969 Magi to Mrs. Audrey M. Godby. Mrs. Godby has given many years of faithful, unselfish service to the Colon Community Schools and its students. We wish, at this time, to express not only our thanks for this unselfish service, but to extend the heartfelt gratitude of the citizens of our community for the many years of a job well done. Mrs. Godby has not only been actively helping students, but has contributed charitable services to the community outside of the school as well. We hope that the dedication of this yearbook to her will serve not only as a token of our highest esteem, but will leave Mrs. Godby with fond memories of a mutual admiration from community citizens, school faculty, and students. 6 k 7 Mrs. Ramona Thaxton Librarian Mr. Melvin Flowers Government 12, Sociology Mrs. Martha Shellenbarger Latin, French, Creative Writing Expository Writing Mr. John Rittman Economics, World History American History, Psychology Miss Helen Reesor Vocational Homemaking Mr. Russell Adrianson Physical Education, Earth Science, Coach d Mrs. Sharon Liegl English 7, 8 10 Mr. Alvin U.
