OUR PRINCIPAL ll' has been asserled +ha+ a piciure is worlh a lhousand words. This is an amaleur ailempl' al word pholography. STUDENT BODY The iirsl piclure I sho1 ' was Ihe mosl imporlanl. ll came oul quile well. Many ilems show up in a piclure nor noliced before. As a slu- den+ body. DuPon+ High is more homogeneous 'lhan any in 'rhe counly. Our young men and women, our boys and girls are from similar sirala in economic. social. and religious backgrounds.

The overall impression of The pholo was a group of adul+s happy in working wi+h youlhg who believe in lhe dignily of 'reachingg Ihal' lessons may be 'Iaughl' by example as well as precepf. By 'lheir choice, several were leaching our youngsiers in This school, ralher lhan in schools nearer lheir homes. I liked 'rhis pic+ure. COMMUNITY This lype of piclure is of necessiiy a composiie. A vasl area musr be covered lo 'Find These various shois. This resulls in some lack of inferesl.
