fvivrewvrd With the fading of summer into fall, we witness the abandoning of summer activities to once again' enter' 'thechallenging doors of learning. The bewildered and somewhat frightened freshmen, the eager sophomores, the confident juniors, and the proud but somewhat sad faces of the seniors flood the mighty halls of L. G. PINKSTON to uphold and respect the loyalty of our alma mater. The faces of Pinkston are many and varied, but they reflect you, the student body. Yes- terday a happy face, today saddened, tomorrow a tearful but eager face meets the world with meek anticipations. These are the young years, the fruitful years when time means only the day after tomorrow. These are the years of wistful-eyed beings with tender dreams, but youth is brutal as well as tender, and youth is reality as well as a dream. A flower blooms and fades and blows away--and blooms again, according to the season: and in like manner youth exists from spring to spring, for to everything there is a time. It is our hope that this first edition of THE VIKING will portray our school accurately. If you can identify with activities and persons herein included, then our work has been to good avail. Let us hope that this is only the first of a long series of portrayals of a fine, American high school. The Annual Staff THE ALMA MATER Dear Pinkston High, our hearts to thee we bringg Our voices raise, thy praise we sing. Our Pinkston High, long may your colors fly.

Dedication It has been said that new approaches and procedures are constantly being tried. 'This we have attempted to do. Yet there are some eternal veritiesg so, in this, our first VIKING yearbook, we have endeavored to show the 'Spirit of the Norsemen' by the use of ideas as new as today. We sought to retain the enthusiasm of those bold, adv venturous men who set sail on uncharted seas. This experimental approach has led to broader interpretations of citizenship, attitudes, and ideals. As we began this adventure, each participant learned to pool resources - thus in our quest we settled on the course we would follow. This pictorial history presents our school family, with its aims, objectives and goals. Our efforts show that teachers and administrators are interested in individuals as well as the school and the total community. The welfare of the student body is the first Viking tenet. Others are: love of country, respect for others, and a constant search for knowledge. To these ideals of the true Viking Spirit we dedicate this Annual.
