 icat ion ♦V‘ To Our Graduates The graduates of Green Bank High School now circle the earth. Pilling their places in the industrial and mili- tary world, they are found in far away places of every part of the world. They have carried on their work in hundreds of strange places and among all manner of people. They have died on the battlefields of the world. Their bodies lie beneath many flags. At home and abroad they go about their appointed tasks. They achieve honors and they fail. They fit into the world’s plans and do the world’s work. The glory of a school is not in the transient achieve- ment of its student body but in the lasting imprint of its graduates on the society of mankind. In recognition of the things you have done, are doing now, and will do in the future, we dedicate this book to you, our graduates of the past years.

foreword Throughout all our lives, time in all its splendor is ever marching on...time will wait for no one. The following pages have been printed in an attempt to make some record of time that we have passed through the date words are written may mean very little - pictures are different since they may be some tangible means of reliving in the future the happy days of the past. We have resorted to the use of pictures, prima- rily, that our experiences as parents, students and faculty members may be relived, even when the pages in this book have turned brown because of age. Since the establishment of th’s school, the philosophy of those men and women in charge of cirriculum build- ing has been to furnish a general education program for the masses. Specialization has had it3 place but secondary to a general program. Rote learning in fundamentals without due emphasis on the humanities v ill come to naught. The graduates of this school have taken their places in all professions through this nation of ours' and have left footprints that can be followed by those graduates who pass this v ay in the future. Why is this true? The community has taken pride in a culture of honesty, friendliness and a desire to evaluate each individual on his own merits We hope this book will be preserved as a memorial to those people who made it possible to have a school spirit where each individual is recognized for his abilities, efforts, and accomplishments.
