Through These Doors At the beginning of the 1963 school year, the seniors gradually ascended the steps of Gadsden High School. In their thoughts ap- peared many quandaries facing young people all over the world. After their re- maining year of high school, they would begin either a new life at college or at a permanent job. This last year of prepara- tion was an important time in their lives. Through these doors of Gadsden High School they walked. Carrying their hopes in their hearts and their ability in their heads, each entered this school for a single purpose—the opportunity to acquire a free education. Some took advantage of this op- portunity and some did not; nevertheless, the opportunity was there. The system of education at Gadsden High is most conducive for learning. These grad- uating students, as well as the sophomores and juniors, had the finest opportunity to prepare for their college courses or their commercial jobs. Each teacher, qualified and sincere, strived to guide these students in their respective vocations. With the many varied facilities available, students also were able to experiment with the extensive and varied equipment. The new chemistry building, music rooms, and language laboratories provided the opportunity to expand from the textbook into the actual participation of the different subjects. Through these doors have walked many senior classes—each class contributing to the honor and glory of this school. Through the years the portals have stood firm and strong. These doors of opportunity are al- ways open at Gadsden High School for those who dare to become responsible citi- zens of the world today.
