MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL During this school year many changes have occurred in our school with the ad- dition of new subjects in die curriculum, new teachers, additional programs and services to the student, as well as a new all time high in enrollment. These changes and attempts to up-date our total school program are an indication of the direction in which education is going. You as students, your parents, and we as teachers must adjust to the new. demands with new determinations and desires to excel. As you look to the future you will notice that only those who are adequately . prepared, probably motivated, and have an intense desire are achieving success. 1 would like to congratulate the sponsors and staff of The Pirate” as this annual reflects many activities and programs of our school year so vividly. Sincerely yours. W. L. Bennett, Jr. Principal
