KELLY HIGH SCHOOL O : PUBLIC LIBRARY WISE, VIRGINIA FOREWORD It is with pride that we, the Staff and Senior Class, pre- sent the 1957 Arrowhead. We have tried to picture the different phases of our school life which develop academic learning, honesty, cooperation, responsibility, and leader- ship. We hope that this 1957 Arrowhead will serve as a book rich in lasting memories of years spent at J. J. Kelly High School. MR. JAMES BEVERLY We also dedicate the 1957 Arrow- head to Mr. Beverly whose guidance and friendship to the Senior Class are greatly appreciated. He has made our high school years more enjoyable by being a friend — as well as a teacher. MISS VERNA MAR BARR As the Seniors of 1957 complete this publication of the Arrowhead, we wish to dedicate it to Miss Barr, our most helpful librarian whose leader- ship and knowledge are appreciated by all who know her.
