Dear Students: “These are the times that try men’s souls.” So wrote Thomas Paine in 1776. But were the words any more appli- cable then than they are to- day? I think not. Boys and girls, if the “lessons of history” are to teach us anything, we must pay heed to the mistakes of the past. During this period of stress and strain in which our very ideals and principles are being threatened by enemies from within and without, you must prepare unceasingly to meet the tremendous challenges of today. So, as seriously as can be emphasized, I say to you: use your time wisely. Yours most sincerely, Edmont Tiller, Headmaster ADMINISTRATION “Edna” as she is known to everyone at Joseph Kershaw Academy is a marvel of efficiency in the administrative office. Her efforts, hard work, and ever-present smile extend throughout the school. Never too busy to type a report or to mimeograph a stencil, she combines helpfulness with good humor. Students, faculty, and parents say “thank-you” for her devotion in a job well done. 7
