We all know that a few pieces of aluminum or steel as individual pieces have very little strength or signifi- conce. However, under the skillful planning of a com- petent engineer, those same pieces may become a very useful instrument to society, such as a boat, a home, a tractor, or an automobile. Recently in our community, the individual citizens acted as a group, and, as an organized group, had the strength to give the young people of this district the necessary facilities for a better education in the form of a second high school. The impact on the community Mr. A, P. Beleal, District Superintendent. Spearheading the drive for a new school and striving for necessary improvements, Mr. Beleal guided the school into new projects with an enthusiastic spirit. l-le always showed real pride in the accomplishments of present and former E,U.l-l.S, students. 1 f X ,J ,,, my ' j F K di -1 il-7,,. , I fgglgcovtte ,x,-Jssil, T? w T sl ,N 7 i L if if 511-2' T' ry' Ly 9 i of these facilities should be great, and should show in the lives of its young people throughout the year ahead. Remember that life's length is not measured by its hours and days, but by that which we have done for our country and kind. A useless life is short if it lasts a cen- tury, We may do much in a few years, and we may do nothing in a lifetime. -Albert Pike, These additional facilities will help you young folk to make Your span of life, either long or short, a full and useful span, You should dedicate yourself to the task of making the great- est possible use of these facilities which the people of this community have made available to you, so that you in turn may add to the cultural and material well being of your country.

As our seniors graduate and freshmen enter, guidance becomes a vital part of our school life. Mrs. Ming and Mr. Fox were always present when decisions had to be made or problems needed solving. When we felt that we needed extra help or just someone eIse's objec- tive thinking, we always knew that the little room in the corner of the office held the answer. bay Mr, Kennedy, left, Mr. Bovie, Mr. Christianson, and Mr. Camer- on look over a model of an atom. Mr. Christianson taught Biology, Zoology, and Girls' Glee Club, while Mr. Bovie taught Chemistry and General Science. Mr. Cam- eron instructed General Science and French, and Mr. Kennedy taught Biology and Photography. Mr. Randels--History and Soci- ology, and Mr, Sherrill-Civics, History and Public Speaking, dis- cuss the significance of Current Events. These two teachers have helped many of us to see our country more clearly as well as to learn the background of other countries with which we must co- operate in modern times. 245, .gy ul -mx
