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

Page 7 text:

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 |

fm 7 I) 4 SON to F Lc 1 |} ’ De ARCHWAY DEDICATION In this year of Our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and forty-seven, We the Staff, and Senior Class of Dan River High School. To show our appreciation, Wish to dedicate this, the second edition of ete tl HaAT Ci PLR oS Sees to Mr. JoSEPH F,. WHITE Principal Mrs. DEMA CHANDLER AND Mr. HENRY W. STOUGH Senior Sponsors i! We feel that their influence on each of us has played a great part in our school life. Since the day of our entrance to the fast approaching day of graduation, we have all profited from their wisdom and guidance and have thoroughly enjoyed the quality of their friendship. Under the direction of such a fine leader as our principal, we have learned to follow his leadership, to respect his wise decisions and to ad- mire his patience and understanding. Since the bewilderment of our freshman days, he has often helped us in our many problems, and as we left his presence we admired his insight, sympathetic understand- ing and good humor. Although Mrs. Dema Chandler has only been with us for one year, we have grown to love her for her fairness, loyalty, grace and charm. We consider it a happy privilege to count her as one of the three most dear to us. Having been our counselor and advisor for the past four years, Mr. Stough has revealed to us his high ideals for broad Christian education and profound human understanding for which we are eternally grateful. From our experience in the class rooms and personal contacts with him we have come to know the true meaning of Christian friendship through his genuine interest and ready assistance. We wish to show in this way our loving tribute to these three who have deserved and won our deepest love and respect. ae |
