Dedicated Teachers Help Straighten Our Road Miss Boelt (ABOVE) leads an animated discussion at a gathering of the Thursday Literary Club. (RIGHT) In the classroom the topic could be Jane Austin or Harry Golden. We, the staff of the 1965 Talon, dedicate this, our year- book, to two who are themselves dedicated, Miss Diana Tilman Boelt and Mr. John Probst Stith. Their assistance to the school and their steady encouragement to the stu- dents have made the Road a straighter one for us to travel. Sponsor of the 1964 Junior Class, Miss Boelt has endeavored to inspire in her students a will to delve into the philosophy of literature and a sensitivity for the beauty of a well-turned phrase as well as a desire for better under- standing the problems of this modern era. She has thought of her pupils as friends and has respected their opinions. Mr. Stith, also, has contributed greatly to school or- ganization. Sponsor of the Stamp Club and Hi-Y, he has devoted himself to developing interest not only in history as a text to the present but in community and scholastic affairs and in clubs as a source of relaxation and enjoyment. Filling a busy schedule, Mr. Stith (LEFT) lectures on the expansion of American railroads and (BELOW) before school decides whether Tom ‘ Tolton’s excuse merits ‘““make-up” on his admission slip.

The Road of Life Challenges Us It has been said that Life is a highway, and its mile- stones are the years. Each year that we live, we travel farther along the Road of Life. Whether we go in the best possible direction is up to us. The Road of Life is a challenging one. With every step taken we encounter new opportunities, acquire new responsibilities, and face new problems. However, there are guideposts: the home, the school, the church, and the government. Goals are important, but we should not fail to notice, appreciate, and enjoy the beautiful scenery that we pass. Although education is essential, the student who partici- pates in many activities is often better prepared to travel the Road than the one who concerns ‘himself only with his studies. We should gain as much from Life as we can without shirking our duties or losing sight of our aim. Stretching onward, the Road continues. All of us cherish fond memories of the Past and can profit from experiences. Yet it is wiser to live and to work for today and to look to the Future with hope and expectation. To journey along the Road of Life requires a special wisdom. This wisdom is comprised not only of an apprecia- tion and sympathy with our surroundings but also of a knowledge obtained from education and our various experiences. Ambition and diligence added to this wisdom enable us to attain our final goal, whatever it may be. Student Life Classes Organizations © Sports... Advertisements: and Patron
