PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE ERDMAN MULLINS Mr. Mullins attended V.P.I. where he received his B.S. and M.S. in Agricultural Education and Vocational Education. The end of the school year is in sight, and graduation is the next big event on the school calendar. For many of you the longest experience you have all shared, twelve years of educa¬ tion, will be coming to an end. This is a wonderful time for all of us to take a look toward tomorrow and to review the lessons of yesterday. Let us step back for a moment and ponder what the whole of your life might be. Today, as our Nation has been from the beginning, is a time of youth, of freshness and of opportunity. Do not forget that the Declaration of Independence was authored and signed by seventeen men who were still in their thirties; and three were in their twenties. No, you are not too young to begin making footprints in the sands of time. You in school today have the opportunity to be the best educated generation this Nation has ever produced. Your Accomplishments and the America which you create can be even greater than your dreams if you display the wisdom and spirit at your command. I have great confidence about the future for I am confident about you. Tomorrow, and I hope for a thousand tomorrows to come, I will watch your progress and take delight in the knowledge that I had some part in guiding you into the path that leads to happiness, self discovery, and success. You have much work remaining ahead of you. Success and happiness are not God-given rewards to be reaped by laggards and others weak of will and determination. They are attain¬ ments which you, in our great society, have the right to pursue. May I take this opportunity to wish you success in your pursuit and may the harvest you reap be worth the effort. 8

Mr. R. C. Hay attended East Tenn. State Uni¬ versity where he received his B.S. and M.A. degrees in Social Science. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE To the Class of ’73, I extend my very best wishes and sincere hope for a bright and prosperour future. You are embarking upon a life that will be filled with many obstacles. It is my hope that you have received the necessary preparation here at Haysi High to enable you to conquer these. I am sure that this ’73 graduating class is most aware of many of the needs of the society in which we live. In any society constructive change is necessary, and I am certain that you will accept the responsibility for making necessary changes. What you contribute to these changes is all important. When changes are made, make them not for the sake of change, but to improve upon what you are replacing. I know you are up to the task. It has been a pleasure for me to serve as your Assistant Principal the past three years. May God’s richest blessings be bestowed upon you. GUIDANCE MESSAGE Congratulations to the graduating class of 1973. Hopefully, your diploma represents the acquisi¬ tion of the knowledge and skills which will enable you to live useful and satisfying lives and you will continue to grow in wisdom and understanding in the years to come. May your generation build a world in which all will live together in peace and harmony. Sincere good wishes Mrs. Negatha Powers, Director of Guidance, attended Milligan and E.T.S.U. where she received her B.S.; she also attended Univ. of Va., V.P.I., and Univ. of Fla. where she received her M.A.
