focal boy nialalas good as Edward M. Singleton Dedications generally refer to the devo- tion to one's job and Huntiring efforts but we'll just pass these by as part of his job as our principal. We'd like to mention the small things that make him not just a good prin- cipal, but a truly fine person. A native of Horry, Mr. Singleton has grown up among Horry County people and has a deep understanding of them and their problems. He is reasonable in his j udgementg just in his personal and business relationsg humble in his actions, and unshaking in his faith in youth. He tactfully points out to us what is right, and when acclaim comes to our student body or school, he is first to ac- knowledge his pride in our achievement, but modestly denies any credit. Occasionally we like to think of him as the lad who grew up on our main street- spending his barefoot youth sneaking away for a dip in Smith Lake, teasing little girls in school, studying some too-a normal boy. Underneath his quiet dignity he must some- times think of days when he trod these cor- ridors as a student-the times he was called to the office by the principal and requested to bend over. But these things do not take from his dignity, they only add to our ad- miration of him as a truly fine person.

fGhaf wonderful, wonderful year Just take a look at the faces of Joe Earl Lee and Esther Branton. Does this picture really need more copy? The unblemished page in September . . . the final tally in Juneg the warmth of re- newed friendships and the thrill of new ac- quaintancesg the loss of summer freedom and the return to autumn routine. Out of momentary confusion grows organization. Study replaces leisure and another year un- folds. It is here that you sxetcn LHC pattern and stamp it with the trademark of your distinct personalities. You may modify, where neces- sary, for the past is never entirely accept- able, and you may initiate new policies when the need arises. On these beginnings you build 3 from this origin you develop.

The perfect picture of a relaxed princi- pal is shown here as the student body applauds Mr. Singleton on being chosen MAN OF THE YEAR in Conway. It came as no surprise to us that Mr, Single- ton was named by a local organization as MAN OF THE YEAR. Mr. Lonnie Causey presents him with a plaque recognizing him for distinguished service. Mr. Singleton's pride and joy is his little daughter Francesca with whom he spends much of his free time.
