Wise Men, Soothsayers, Students In an uncertain and changing world the importance of signs and signposts is undisputed. The wise men of old recog- nized them. The sooth-sayers of them thar hills relied on them. Neither a wise man of old nor a superstitious sooth- sayer, the GWHS student is daily aware of the value of concrete signs! Dominating the scene in Danville, ' 69, and Danville, ' 70, was the construction of a multi-million dollar bridge, spanning the Mighty Dan. The monstrous structure, overshadowing GW ' s very doorstep, made the erection of signs doubly im- portant, especially noticeable to the stu- dents. In the midst of a changing geograph- ical area— a changing campus approach- each almost daily found changing signs directing the avenue for the direct ap- proach to the Broad Street entrance. Truly, signs took on a new significance, a new importance. The student felt a need for looking carefully at them, for following them, in order to reach school on time. Obviously, building of all kinds is a sign of the times. At this particular stage of life for students, however, building takes on new significance. Thus, a natural approach, unifying a glorious ' 69- ' 70 year, seems to be relat- ing signs to life at GW. Varied signs, sometimes of an unusual nature, point the way to (or give significance to) char- acteristic events and experiences of a student ' s day. The educational pattern lends itself to certain directions . . . though the destination is peculiar to each individual student. BROAD ST. CLOSED G.W.HIGH SCHOOL 2 Foreword
