My story begins at any time during the year 1937-38, a year similar to every other year in that it possessed its full share of joys and anxieties. The children born that year are the characters of my story. and they are important because without them, the story could not be written. In 1942 or 19-13, they came face to face with a new environment, for around the corner stood the school house. Here they Hlel other boys and girls. and with them struggled with the ABCE and with the recogni- tion ol' numbers. During the years 1943 through 1949. my characters acquired not only the fundamentals of reading. writ- ing. and arithmetic. but also began to use this knowl- edge in solving new problems. Now. with the comple- tion ol' that all-important interval from 1950-56, the junior and senior high school years. my story comes to an end. for my char:1cters are graduating in June. 1956. As you may have guessed. this is your life. Your present feeling of accomplishment is directly commen- surate with the degree of ellort you have expended. If you have not short-changed yourselves in laying a firm foundation for your many goals. future success is right- fully yours . . . and may you achieve it! W'hether or uotiyou do. only time can tell. ur principal gives timel advice 18 Promptly at 7:15 eyery morning. hir. Kixer starts his day at Hughes. a routine he has followed for 28 years. Back in 1919, Mr. Kizer began his career at Hughes as a math teacher. but after four years. he became assistant principal, and held this position until he went to Hartwell High School in 1940 as principal. In 1945 he returned to Hughes, as principal. to renew his inspirational leader- ship and his unceasing eflorts to make better citizens ol' Hughes students. His greatest gift, perhaps, is that of pa- tience bestowed upon those who are stubborn about learn- ing. His great love for Hughes makes him beloved by all at Hughes.
