James B. Woodson. Principal p. o. BOX 72 BLACKSTONE. VIRGINIA LUTHER H. FOSTER HIGH SCHOOL NOTTOWAY. VIRGINIA April 1, 1956 Seniors of 1956 Luther H. Foster High School Nottoway, Virginia My dear Young Friends: I am pleased greatly to extend to you at this time - and in this manner - my hearty congratulations upon your achievements here at Foster High School. I salute you as our first group of seniors in this county to graduate with twelve years of public school education to your credit. I commend you, also, for your unique accomplishment in producing the first Yearbook in the history of our high school. You might deservedly be called Trail Blazers. I want you to know that I am deeply grateful for the many and varied contributions which you have made to our school. You will be missed here at Foster. It is my belief, however,that your influence will continue to be felt in the lives of other students who - having observed your good works - will follow in your train. It is comforting to know that you can, in this manner, remain with us in spirit even after you shall have gone your several ways. As the poet, Hamilton, wrote: This learned I from the shadow of a tree, That to and fro did sway upon a wall, - Our shadow-selves, our influence, may fall Where we can never be. My final word is a fervent plea that you may always regard your education as a pearl of great price. Moreover, I would urge you to regard it as a sure foundation for any and all of your future endeavors. Continue to build upon that foundation. It will give you comfort, courage, and self-confidence at times when you might otherwise be overcome by doubt and despair. Knowing that you do have such security, may you always - Be like the bird which, Halting in her flight - $c a A while on [bows) too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings - Knowing that she has wings. It is my sincere hope that the future for each one of you may be fruitful and bright in excess of anything that you have thus far experienced. Very truly yours, 6 James B. Woodson, Principal JBW:sbc
