G. Virgil Nunn Superintendent Ever since the beginning of time man has been led forward by a beacon of light. Hundreds of years ago. the Star in the East, over Bethlehem of Judea, was a shining light of hope, aspiration, and even of life itself. The One whose birth was celebrated then is still a beacon of light today to those who are lost, weary, troubled and sad. The Knights of Old. in their own way. flashed a gleam of light for men to follow in their day History is filled with illustrations of one man holding a torch for another and lighting the course that others would follow The theme. Follow the Gleam,’ should be an inspiration to every high school student and especially to the members of the graduating class. Therefore. I would encourage each of you to follow that gleam of light which leads to success, happiness, contentment and ultimately, to the Great Reward. Lest we forget, each of us should remember that we too will light a pathway for someone who will follow. Perhaps it would be well for us to keep in mind that verse of scripture from the Book of Matthew: Let your light so shine before men. that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.

Mr, Walker Dedication to a cause today is most assuredly as highly respected as it was during the days of knighthood Today, however, we face dedication so much more sanely than did those gladiators of old. Ours is the task of seeking out the best in a world that offers a great variety of challenges Ours is the task of exercising sound judgment and self-control in a world which has become more accelerated with each passing year. In the hustle of our modern world, the joust has become the gridiron, and armor of steel has given way to football uniforms. Today we still refer to knights m shining armor and to ladies in waiting. These present day knights are equally as chivalrous as the ones of old—these ladies still stand for graciousness and inspiration as they did in by-gone days. The past makes exciting reading, but how infinitely more satisfying is our own individual way of following the gleam of this glorious twentieth century. tAXLfrv Principal OFFICE ASSISTANTS Left to right. 1st Row: Peggy DeLaney.
