DEDICATION ► A teacher, that is what he is. But to those who know him, he is not only that but much more. ► Through his hard work and determina- tion he helped us make our floats and Jr.-Sr. Banquet a success. ► He always makes mountains seem as molehills and conveys his own confi- dence to all around him. It is a pleasure for us, the Senior Class of 1970, to dedicate this PIONEER to Mr. Smith as a special reminder to him that his untiring efforts to teach, coun- sel, and help have not gone unappreciated.

MY OPPORTUNITY — Thomas Simpkin I want that somehow I may live, Some bit of inspiration give, Some word or deed of mine be spent To lend someone encouragement, That he may nobler live each day For just one time I pass this way. I want to live and have clean fun, Enjoy each day from sun to sun; To have within my heart real joy, To keep the spirit of a boy. I want to laugh and sing and play For just one time I pass this way. I want, ere all my race is run, To see some work of mine begun To mark, for travlers following me, The danger spots, so all my see; To put some beauty here to stay Though just one time I pass this way. Then I would add some brotherhood, Allay what hate and fear I coud. And whether we be great or small, See truth and justice govern all; Help righteousness to have full sway For just one time I pass this way. To use my talents by some plan That seeds to serve my fellowman; To try to soften grief and pain And help restore the smiles again. All this to do while yet I may, For just one time I pass this way. I pass this way but once, ’tis true And yet, ’tis given to me and you To add some happiness and cheer For other pilgrims travling here So when we’re gone that some may say, They’re glad that we have passed their way.
