A First Graduate Sends Greetin Gs to Ochool’s Siftieth Graduates Greetings, Young friends and fellow alumni! Let me commend you in your undertaking this year to turn back the clock for one- half a century and glean through the intervening years to see what the pioneers ofthe Jarratt High School had left in the way of a heritage for you the seniors of this class of 1962. It is very difficult for us in our passing days to realize that we are filling in the pages ofhistory and contributing to the heritage to be built upon by the on-coming generations. There is little that can be told of the first graduating class of Jarratt High School, that evening inJune so long ago, unless it could be their fortitude and endurance, in view of the fact that all members of this class lived in rural areas, the roads of that day being what they were and the school buildings, a far cry from the modern structures. Progress took a mighty hand and wonders have been wrought since that era. This class of 1912 would like to think they did spin a thread, ever so slender it may have been which could be there for each succeeding generation to weave upon. Young people of this class of 1962, please never forget you are very much inthe making of history today and you are weaving upon the threads of heritage which you have received and will pass on to future classes of our Alma Mater. Spin your threads well, in fulfilling that purpose and plan that God has so wisely and beautifully laid out for each of your lives. From this class there well may come a President of the United States, missionaries to the far corners of the earth and other men and women holding responsible positions in a Christian world. May your generation be the one to tum the tide of an unfriendly, hostile world to one of everlasting peace. May God bless and keep you always. Your Alumni Grandmother, Mary Louise Tyus Baicy Classes
