to higher degrees of achievement . . . Managing the difficulties and activities of a consolidated high school can present many problems. The able leadership of our principal, Mr. R. L. Hollandsworth, and his entire office staff has guided the students at Floyd County High School through a most successful year. However, Mr. Hollandsworth's work began before September, 1962, when Floyd County High School opened its doors to students for the first time. The summer before school be- gan was spent planning schedules, working on records, and finishing last-minute details. Throughout the year, Mr. Hollandsworth stressed the importance of good principal, teacher, and student relations. Practically any day of the week he could be seen having a friendly chat with students. This is only one example of Mr. Hollandsworth's genuine con- cern for each student at Floyd County High School. Our sincere thanks go to the man who has led us through a most enriching year—Mr. R. L. Hollandsworth. MR. R. L. HOLLANDSWORTH B.S., M.S., Virginia Polytechnic Institute Principal 25 MRS.

Floyd County High School had been a dream for many years, and much of the credit for the M dream - come-true goes to the Floyd County School Board. This group, along with the citizens of Floyd County, spent many hours of planning and working to present to the students of Floyd County a school of which they can truly be proud. Their work has been suc- cessful because Floyd County High School students are now enjoying the best facilities offered in an accredited high school. When they proposed the idea of a consolidated school for the county, the board knew that they would face many difficulties before their proposal would become a reality. Education has advanced rapidly in the county over the years, and the board has helped to make this advancement possible. Today we have a school and an educational system superior in many aspects. Thanks to the concern of these men, we can proudly display our educational progress through Floyd County High School. MRS.
