Within These Pages Flow Varied Currents of Activity, Danville. Dan River Mills. The Dan River. George Washing- ton High School. Names fraught with meaning for all students, whether they be freshmen, sophomores, juniors or seniors. How many times has there been wonder about and appreciation of one of nature’s most beautiful and most useful creations — a river? Throughout the centuries rivers have played a key role in man’s survival and progress. Fortunately, GW-ites, as citizens of a prospering Danville, have a sort of personalized river to call their own — the Dan River. This illustrious body of water borders on the campus of GWHS and is viewed daily by students and faculty alike. As various streams flow in to feed the Dan, to form and intensify this bubbling mass, so does George Washington contain a conglomeration of numerous and varied individuals from the junior high schools. Furthermore, as the river rushes ever on toward the open mouth, anticipating the sea, GW-ites are continually pushing onward, nearing the highest goal — graduation. For the students as for the river, there is a glorious past and inspiring present. The river’s progress can be noted, the mighty whole being the culmination of tinkling streams. Daily ac- complishments in student life gradually, through devious channels of activity, produce the seasoned graduate. As the river’s moods are unpredictable and provocative, so are the ambitions and hopes of GW’s people. Challenging best de- scribes the prospects of the river and the student, these pros- pects being closely interwoven with Danville.
