, 0 . Elton A. Bonner, A.B., M.A. University of Alabama Principal Our principal places his finger on the clock to start the day’s schedule. It is he who reminds us that our school is made of many parts that must work together as a time¬ piece if its true purpose is to be realized. Principal’s Message . • • It is difficult to realize that our present seniors were the sophomores of the new James Madison High School when it opened its doors to its first student body in 1959 — or that our juniors, for the most part, will have the unique experience of graduating only next year from the same high school from which they entered as freshmen. We have been together for such a short while and yet we are again facing another division of our student body as other new schools are soon to open in nearby sections of the county. For some the ex¬ periences of separation from friends will begin all over again, and the struggle to breathe new life into another cold and inanimate arrangement of brick and glass will again be the order of the day. Many of you will welcome this challenge. There will be new oportunities for leadership, for mak¬ ing a new start, for living through many inter¬ esting and exciting experiences in a fine new building with all of its bright and modern equip¬ ment. Whatever may be your feelings, be they of eager anticipation or of resentment and disappointment, the change will inevitably come, for this is a sym- o J J hoi of the time in w Inch we live. We make ad¬ justments and learn to live with the facts of our present age. We do so realizing also that we live during the time of exciting adventure, of rapid discovery, of long hoped for breakthroughs in science a nd invention, of boundless opportunities. And we are assuredly living at a time when young people have never been better prepared for facing the challenges of their future. To those budding pioneers who will be leaving us to open one of the schools, we shall miss you, but we know that you will build a fine school just as you have done here at James Madison. To you seniors—congratulations! We have great confidence that you will carry with you the fine Warhawk spirit which you have established here, and that wherever you go you will prove your- yourselves loyal and true Americans, always proud but always humble, always doing your best to become the most highly trained and conscientious people within your capabilities. Bon Voyage! 14

The success of our school year, to a large degree, is the result of the efficiency and hard work of our administrative staff. The staff finds it hard to work by the clock, l ime must be found for the many conferences, meetings, and duties that are part of a school. The solving of problems that of necessity arise in a school day is as unending as the tick-tock of a grandfather’s clock. 13

Elam K. Hertzler, A.B., M.A. Eastern Mennonite College Eastern Michigan University Assistant Principal for Administration The task of keeping up with all seventeen hundred of us falls to Mr. Hertzler.

Dozier, A.B., M.A. University of North Carolina Assistant Principal for Instruction To keep instruction at a high professional level and the faculty a well integrated group working for the whole school program takes patience and wisdom. With his quiet humor and southern drawl, Mr. Dozier performs a difficult task with apparent ease.
