leads SaaCCheaan : | Huguenot, we fondly love thee, And thy Green and Gold. In our hearts we'll ne’er forget thee As the years unfold. May thy colors waving o’er us, Shining clear and bright, Lead us ever by thy watchwords — Honor, Truth and Right. Like the Falcon in the heavens Proud against the sky, Pledge we now our true devotion, Banner held on high. We will always sing thy praises, Work for thy success. Hail, oh, noble Alma Mater! Hail to H.HS.! By Carolyn Wolfe, Class of 65 .. All the While Teaching . . That which we are we are all the while teaching, not voluntarily, but involuntarily. — Emerson He that has found a way to keep a child’s spirit easy, active, and free, and yet at the same time to restrain him from many things he has a mind to, and to draw him to things that are uneasy to him, has, in my opinion, got the true secret of educa- tion. — Locke To our friend and assistant principal, Charles R. Routon, we, the senior staff of the 1963 ‘Talon, dedicate our book. ce) 2 IVS buiva 2 ee ro TF YQRAF UTP INT 2 VEE LIBRARY OF VIRGINIA SR met

Spee eee «= Star of Achievement FH foe 71 see oe Js Guides Us Forward fal | When first we enter high school as eighth graders, we begin to ascend the steep path of knowledge; as freshmen we have passed the first milestone along the way. Sophomores find the path is rough and filled with obstructions, while juniors discover the journey is yet far from fin- ished. At the close of our senior year we walk for the last time through the halls of Huguenot, musing over difficulties which block the road of life ahead, using as our guide the star of achievement illuminating the path of the future. “Emerson said, ‘Hitch your wagon to a star. One can see in those six little words the summary of human achieve- ment, and an everlasting inspiration to the future races of men. From Socrates to Edison, every forward step taken by man- kind through revolving centuries, every advance by humanity towards the ulti- mate goal, has been led by some valiant dreamer whose eyes were fixed upon the dawn. Moses, with dying eyes, saw a star blazed in the Promised Land; the radi- ance of an eternal star led Three Wise Men to the manger in Bethlehem; Colum- bus pinned his faith in the dawn of a new day; Kepler, announcing the laws of the unchanging spheres; Newton, watching the apple fall, each looked beyond, and into the future.” —J.
