Board of Education Works to xv ' It is my hope that as you spend many happy hours with this edition of the Piper you will take time to rejoice that you live in a nation where free public education is possible. I hope that you will realize that in very few nations of the world are scenes such as those depicted in this book possible. In our nation the goal underlying our educational system is to provide an equal chance for all, to educate each to rise to his or her highest potential and take a responsible position in society. It is my hope that each individual will take from this school a knowledge and appreciation of the dedication and sacrifice that has gone into the protection and continuation of our free educational system and our nation. There are now many detractors from our system and those who would destroy the works of many generations. I believe, as Lincoln said in his Cooper Union speech on February 27, 1860, Ulf destruction be our lot, we ourselves must be the author and the nnisher. As a Nation of Free Nlen, we must live through all times, or die by suicide. We are looking to you, the students pictured in this yearbook, to prevent this from happening. fs 7 wlauttlitiii, Ol, Paul Whitton, Jr. 1980-81 Board of Trustees Superintendent fe- if an wfzcf Members are: Sam Mack Hodges CVPD, James Rodgers, Mrs. Joe Hymer CSec.l, W.T.

I lVlake the School Year Successful s O .ll I ,h5Q .gk T35 H3 '43 is 'W 'ww X . -f . Time waits for no one, not even you or me. Use your time wisely in school. Learn what you can, all that you can, so that your mind is a storehouse of knowledge. Enjoy these days in school, days that are spent with friends and family. These days can never be repeated, so make the best of them. As people get older Cwe all doi they look back on their formative years. It doesn't matter if they were good or bad, what does matter is that each person made his own destiny. People say, Ulf I could go back with the knowledge I have now, I would be better. Don't go through life with that attitude or say HI wish I had tried harder. Try now! Work now! Do it this time! For some, the learning game is about over, as is the game of growing up. It is now time for you to be grown up and step into the work-a-day world. The learning process never ceases. You must learn ever day to survive the pressures of today's world. School is only the foundation. Qtmaf ffwouafaf Russell Merket Principal Hamlin High School Secretary H 'lt Jane Nlurphree Business Mgr. .,',-. O , H.S.
