DIQIHCIDAVS message Reflections may be of two kinds: one which looks or thinks back over the past, the other which reflects some object or thing. This book is a pictorial review of the events of the past school year. As you leaf through its pages, you will recall many highlights-- things on which you will wish to reflect. This book features our new chapel. I am certain that the picture of our beautiful chapel will cause you to reflect on some of the outstanding chapel periods we have had this past school year. Each week we have had spiritual Chapels which taught us to wor- ship our Creator. These worshipful periods have helped us grow, for as Calvin Coolidge once said, It is only when men begin to worship that they begin to grow. The second kind of reflection is more important to the Christian. Jesus said, Ye are the light of the world. As the moon is the light of the night, so the Christian is to be a light in the dark world of sin. The moon reflects the light of the sim, so the Chris- tian reflects the light of the Sun of Righteousness. The success or failure of this past school year may well be mea- sured by how well you and I reflect Christ. When Christ is abid- ing in our hearts, we cannot conceal the light of His presence. Are you and I reflecting Him to others daily? 'May God help us to be true reflectors of the Lord Jesus. P. E . Plummer

Oeolcauon For more than eighteen years students of Golden Gate Academy came to respect and love Mrs. Vera Nethercott. She served in the capacity of food service director and bus driver. She came to us in 1941 and until this year, has been here ever si.nce except for several periods including one during World War II when she drove army trucks to further the war effort. Due to a change in cafeteria services this year, Mrs. Nethercott was not with us. We have missed her. Her love for others could not help but show, and even her cafeteria workers were known as honey, Because of her lingering influence and years of devoted service, we are proud to dedicate this 1966 Anchor to Mrs. Vera Nethercott.
