G C Hawley High School - Hornet Yearbook (Creedmoor, NC)

Page 15 text:

A school building is constructed of steel and cement, strong and permanent, but it is designed to accommodate an ever-changing flow of students. Year after year buses empty their loads each morning and people stream in waves into the hallways and classrooms to the rhythm of bells. Tides of people rush in and out of the rooms and corridors and finally back to the buses, leaving i the building empty. Carl Sandburg in his poem Skyscraper says It is the men and women, boys and girls so poured in and out all day that give the building a soul of dreams and thoughts and memories . As each individual forms a part of the mass, so each personality contributes to the whole of Hawley ' s soul--that abstract thing we call school spirit. Soon we, the class of 1967, will be leaving this student body. With us we will take our individual dreams and thoughts and mem- ories, many of which were molded in these halls and rooms. Before we leave, We present the FOREWORD ;j 1967 Hornet, an abstract collection of the people and events that filled our senior year. t 3
