3ln Me murrain As we seniors look forward to our graduation it is with sadness that we realize one of our class- mates will be missing. Five years ago during summer recess Raymond (Skipper) Smith accidently drowned while fishing in the Hudson River. It is because he holds a special spot in our hearts we proud- ly place the 1965 Corinthian in his memory. Skipper was effervescent and athletic. Many of us remember him as captain of the 1959 cham- pion baseball team sponsored by the Corinth Yough Commission (pictures in upper corners) or as the excellent angler depicted in the photos in the lower corners. Others recall his immense love of sci- ence and astronomy, and his talent for playing the cornet. The majority however remember the fun- loving spirit of the boy who sold his mother’s cookies in the school cafeteria and gave a Christmas present of coal to a very deserving seventh grade teacher. The sight of his loyal dog Spot brings a wealth of memories to each of us who shared the honor of knowing Skipper. We hereby sincerely place the 1965 Corinthian in the memory of Raymond Smith. Class of 1965

Betriratton Hit (Charlotte %robm Then said a teacher. Speak to us of Teaching. And he said: No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his livingness. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it. And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither. For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man. And even as each one of you stands alone in God’s knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth. -Kahlil Gilbran, The Prophet
