THROUGH GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL WORK W.F.G.H.S. PROGRESSED Through the combined efforts of all of the stu- dent body of W. F. George High School, the ac- complishments of the year have been assessed as a total success. We had the best football team and one of the best bands ever congregated from our high school. Also, through individual effort and strivings, a dedicated few have been acclaimed with the bestowing of high awards. This type of people and the unified endeavors of individuals are the vital factors in the making of a great school. It can truly be said that the 1965-66 school year has been an absolute triumph in the road of progression at W. F. George High School. The taste of victory is sweet, but Alan Holdeman, as everyone else, knows that the savoriness is not easy to come by. The library is the place where many peo- ple spent numerous hours on their way to prog- ress. Sandra Wood understands this because she has spent hours in the library.

August 30, brought every one back from summer vacation eager to start another school year. Here the student body awaits instructions from Mr. Dawson to begin classes. W.F.G.H.S. was blanketed in a beautiful white coat of snow for several weeks during the winter. Although snow is not a common occurrence, we were blessed with abundant snowfall and the abun- dance of colds and absences that accompany it. 24

Teachers can be casual. Mis. Jones shows this with her im- promptu pose at the door of her classroom. TEACHERS - INSPIRATION, LEADERS, FRIENDS What makes the school? Many say the students; but the students would be lost in the darkness of ig- norance without the understanding, help, and guidance of the faculty. The teachers of W.F.G.H.S. open new doors, spur the imaginations of the students, and set their students on the road of success in life. Not only do they set examples of excellence for every student to follow, but they are kind and understanding friends to all of those who follow their direc- tion each day. Mr. Sumner, a visiting speaker, Mr. Reck, and Mr. Cowley are hav- ing a discussion about “who knows what?’’.
