SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE You are to be congratulated on the fine yearbook you have produced. It reflects the spirit of cooperation, the diligent ef- fort put forth and the patience you have shown in completing this project. As you graduate and enter the adult world around you it will be beneficial to you to remember that your commencement is, as the word implies, a beginning as well as an opportunity to continue your development. It will become increasingly im- portant for you to set your mind upon your task and to concentrate upon your purpose. Your life is a trust from God and should be lived in a way that will meet with His approval. Your task is to utilize his gifts to you--your heart, your hand, your brain and your soul-- and to develop them to the utmost. Let me extend to you at this time every good wish for con- tinued success and happiness. M. H. Sko e.

FOREWORD In this modern era, there are missies, jets, atomic and neuclear power, rockets and satellites that are familiar to us . . . typical but dignified teenagers . . . called Seniors” . . . who are about to be spun into orbit. Ye, we’re typical high school students . . . launched four years ago . . . securely anchored to our seats . . . well ... to try to acquire knowledge of unfamiliar instruments that surround us in our spaceship. Now we anxiously await in our nose-cone . . . that . . . well . . . final thrust in space. Yes, we do have a know- ledge of this new space world . . . yet ... we have to meet many experiences . . . responsibilities . . . challenges it offers. Many Seniors will go to other planets . . . maybe to settle down ... or launch again . . . maybe to new heights. Well, here is your book, the Dillardite, to relive that wonderful ride ... in our spaceship . . . many joys . . . hardships and unforgettable moments encountered during those years. We the staff, hope you will share with us our interpre- tation of . . . well . . . That Old Dillard Spirit. 2
