chARActemzed east a6mimstRation Much of the credit for East Surry’s suc¬ cessful seven-year record must go to its efficient, actively concerned school committee. These men, all responsible and successful businessmen with extensive obligations in other areas, have given freely of their time and energy in full support of our school and others in our district. They established early a relationship of mutual concern and respect among them¬ selves and the administration and faculty of each school. Students found these commit¬ teemen among their most loyal fans in sports and other student activities. Mr. Walter M. Matthews added another year to his long record of dedicated service to East Surry as chairman of the District School Committee. 59
