FOREWORD James Chappell and Jeane Smitherman — editors TIME can neither be seen nor heard . . . it cannot be grasped in one’s hands . . . pet, it is the yardstick of our very lives. It slides by effortlessly and silently, never to return. Only the effects and results of time remain as a witness to its reality. So, we, the Elk Staff, have endeavored to cap¬ ture these results with a picture and pen, to place within the covers of this book a picture of the past, to present on these pages the events of the time associated with school. But it takes more than events to make a .story. It takes characters, some promi¬ nent and some supporting. Although each Elkin High student fig¬ ures in our story, we have chosen some leading characters and personalities to whom we wish to pay honor and tribute.
