Dale County Christian School - Crusader Yearbook (Ozark, AL)

Text from Pages 1 - 48 of the 1976 volume:

“Praise the Lord, from whom all blessings flow.” That verse from the Bible certainly reflects our feelings here at Dale County Christian School. God has richly poured out His blessings upon us this year. It has been a year of stability and growth, a successful year in many areas. It has been a year filled with conflict and battles as well as victory and blessing. Such is always the case in the life of the children of God as they seek to follow Him by faith. I am grateful to the parents of children in Dale County Christian School who have seen the need for a Christian education and Christian environment, those parents who care enough to even sacrifice to see that their children have this advantage. We appreciate your cooperation and support as we have sought to administer in love the educational and disciplinary policies so needful to our youth of today. We thank the Lord for those precious young people who have come to know Christ as their personal Saviour. Our children are our most priceless inheritance. As we look about us and see deteriorating influences upon our youth, we are grateful to the Lord in raising up Dale County Christian School. Pray with us as we seek God’s wisdom and direction in the days ahead.

Eccl. 12:9 A PRAYER It is my joy in life to find At every turning of the road The strong arm of a comrade kind To help me onward with my load. And since I have not gold to give, And love alone must make amends, My only prayer is, while I live— God make me worthy of my friends.

If YOU THINK you dare not, you don’t. If you like to win, but YOU THINK you can’t, It is almost certain you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost. For out in the world we find, Success begins with a fellow’s will. It’s all in the STATE OF MIND. If YOU THINK you are outclassed, you are, You’ve got to THINK HIGH to rise, You’ve got to be SURE OF YOURSELF before You can ever win a prize. “Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man, But sooner or later the man who wins Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!” 25 Author Unknown SING UNTO THE LORD He listened as the pastor spoke, He bowed his head for prayer; And when the off’ring plate was passed He gladly gave his share. But when a hymn was wont to sing, He tightly sealed his tongue, Til songs of praise that cried for strength Were weak and feebly sung. Not just because he failed to sing, But others joined him, too, And mocked with hollow silence The praises of the few.

Forgive us, Lord, who fail to see The glory of the song, That nobly lifts the name of Christ Above all sin and wrong. And tune our hearts to sing Thy praise Until each sincere soul Shall stand condemned within his heart To shrink back from our goal — The goal that each heart born anew May gladly join our song; Not just within the worship hour, But through the whole day long. 28 We pray now you will bless this book Lord, We have filled it with all we could afford. 31 DOMINEY-MITCHELL Downtown Ozark 774-5125 — - —— Duality Entire Wire Gross Area Custom Built Homes Chamber of Commerce YOUR PLANS OR OURS 33 Compliments of BROWN’S MFG.CORP.
