ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE You have reached one of many thresholds in life. This graduation from high school may just be the most important one, since what you do with the preparation you have received for life depends upon the path you choose to follow at this point in time. There will be those who feel high school is enough to propel them onward. Others will pursue higher education. Whatever path you choose, approach your objective with caution, retrospect, and humility as well as determinat ion. This is a fast-paced world, but compassion and respect for others are still treasured assets. The world owes you nothing; you owe a great deal to it. The challenge of the future is great. The re- sponsibility of seeing that our cherished way of life is sustained upon the shoulders of your generation. May you accept this responsibility with the determi- nation to make tomorrow a little better than today. GUIQANCE fiABSCAGB Mrs. Negatha Powers, Director of Guid- ance, attended Milligan and E. T. S. U. where she received her B. S. ; she also attended Univ. of Va. , V. I. P. , and Univ. of Fla. where she received her M. A. TO THE CLASS OF 1972 Your decision to finish high school is commendable. In many ways, your generation faces more challenges than any generation before you. Young people of both sexes are exerting more influence on all facets of our culture than at any other period of history. I sincerely hope that you will be equal to face the challenges, that you will use wisely your unprecedented freedom of choices, that you will remember that truth, honesty, integrity, wisdom, and the brotherhood of man are internal valves that never change.

PRINCIPAL ' S UECSASE ERD UAN MUUJN£ Mr. Mullins attended V. P. I. where he received his B. S. and M. S. in Agricultural Education and Vocational Education. Your years of arduous work at Haysi High School are rapidly coming to an end. These years are not seen nor are they noticed , but they are to be an essential part of your performance in life. In too many areas of life today is the philosophy present that somehow the achievements of success can be reached without the accomplishments of earnest toil and tribulation. I say to you, this can not be so. My associations with you as a teacher and as your principal will long be remem- bered and the thought cherished. I have watched you develop in educational com- petence, and I am pleased with what I see. You may not remold the world in a cast of your own making, but neither will I shudder at the thought of your taking your place in our adult society. After graduation, I hope you can and will return often to the school for a visit. With this pictorial record goes my most sincere wish that the Divine Hand will keep a firm and guiding hold solidly placed upon your shoulder. 6
