Dan River High School - Archway Yearbook (Ringgold, VA)

Page 6 text:

THEME EXPLANATION Kuc- In selecting the theme for this, the second edition of THE ARCHWAY, we have felt that the Archway itself would be appropriate, inasmuch as it stands, not only as a welcome to the buildings of the Dan River High School, but also as a welcome to our school which as an institution invites the young people of this community to opportunities of knowledge and development, which will prepare them for their further adventures in life. Each freshman class, upon coming to the school is not only impressed with the faculty and fellow-stu- dents, but also for the high ideals and standards for which Dan River High School has always stood. It is a great adventure to enter any high school; more so when entering Dan River High School for here friend- ships are formed, good habits are encouraged, and characters are modeled so that upon graduation the seniors may rightfully take their place in the com- munity as capable, responsible and worthwhile Chris- tian citizens. ee i

THE ARCHWAY may also be symbolic of the en- trance of the graduate into the further adventures of life, and meeting the problems and experiences that present themselves. The consuming desire of the fa- culty is that the students who leave Dan River High School may be adequately prepared to make suc- cesses of their lives, no matter what field of endeavor they may choose. To the graduates of other years who have upheld the high traditions of our school, we, of the Senior Class, pledge ourselves to also hold aloft the light of our lives that others may be benefited by the lessons that we have learned, and the services that we have rendered, both here and elsewhere, in any future time. = ae |
