too ministration BEGINNING HIS FIRST TERM as superintendent of the Gastonia City Schools, Mr. William H. Brown pays a visit to our school early in the fall. Mr. T. Jeffers, our principal, is shown here about to break-up on the punch-line of a humorous joke just delivered by Mr. Brown. Stepping into the position left vacant by Dr. Sugg, Mr. Brown promises to administer the Gastonia City Schools with aplomb and savoir-faire brought from a similar position in a neighboring school system. Our principal, Mr. Jeffers, is outspoken on his confidence in a new administration, and a new day in education for Gastonia. 5

NORTH CAROLINA T JEFFERS PRINCIPAL February 10, 1966 This year is the sixty-sixth in the long history of this school. The year 1966 marks the 11th year we have been housed in these new and enlarged facilities, and in each one of the past years we have added to the equipment, the supplies and the opportunities. Our graduates have entered a large number of America ' s leading colleges and schools to continue and to complete their education and training. This year ' s class will have an even greater opportunity to continue their educational growth and achievement. There will be no closed doors that can not be opened by superior work. There will be no goals that will be beyond their reach if they continue to strive toward them. They are the inheritors of all the ad vantages and privileges that recent legislation brought into being. The challenge to succeed will be heavy upon them. I have faith that they will be equal to the task. I hope for them full and useful lives, with service to their fellow men as a constant goal.
