IN MEMORIAM Richard Campbell RICHARD CLAYTON CAMPBELL July 3, 1935—August 31, 1950 The jovial nature and friendly smile of Richard Campbell will long live in our memory, for Richard had the sunny disposition which brightened every group of which he was a part. He possessed the ability to make those with whom he came in contact, his associates and fellow students, his sincere and genuine friends. Because Richard’s life touched ours, we are richer in understanding true fellowship. JAMES HAROLD STORY February 20, 1937—August 14, 1951 Because he possessed those qualities which make a good student and citizen, Harold Story will be long remembered by both faculty and students of Madison Heights High School. His friendly disposition made it a pleasure to have him as a member of the student body; his unfailing interest made him an asset to whatever group of which he was a part. In these unsettled times, when persons of such character and ability are needed, the loss of Harold creates a vacancy in our school which never can be filled. 7 Harold Story

ADM I NISTRATION MR. A. J. CAMDEN, SUPERINTENDENT In our world of work, each individual is afforded an opportunity to choose his life’s career. Each of these fields of work is very important, and all dependent upon the other and vice versa. One of the great challenges of the present age, as in the ages past, is to assist, help and guide the young people to develop and grow into happy, useful citizens. If the defects and ills of our social order are to be cured and remedied, at least in part, the leadership in our school units will in no small measure be responsible. Of the many opportunities for our Division Superintendent, Mr. A. J. Camden, to find a more lucrative profession, he has wisely chosen to work among Amherst County’s greatest resource, the youth. SCHOOL BOARD Each citizen of our County is challenged to render a public service, a service which carries with it little or no compensation of a pecuniary nature. There are many ways by which such a service may be rendered. The idea of helping young people grow and develop into worthy citizens able to meet the responsibilities which of necessity will be theirs is, indeed, one of the highest ambitions of those who are dedicated to public service. Of this our School Board with Mrs. Bess W. Shrader, Chairman; Mr. Jack F. Thomas, Vice Chairman; Mr. Ashby Woods, and Mr. Herbert J. Camden, members, arc most aware. 8
