l l J Where there's a will, there's a way to do it, but you won't get there if you don't stick to it. The truth of this was evident as we worked in our various classes to gain the knowledge that will someday help to fulfill our dreams of success. As we progressed from year to year, we began to realize the value of our classes and the important part they would ploy in our lives. ln a day and age when edu- cation is foremost in the minds of the world, we were constantly reminded of our duty to ourselves and to our nation in taking advan- tage ot our opportunities, of sticking to our goal. More than knowledge found in books have we gained at Mavahi, for here we have learned the greatest lesson of all-living with other people and benefiting from our associa- tion with them. This, above all, is the essence of true education.

i i . There are many things in Martinsville High School that merit a grand applause from stu- dents, from faculty, and from citizens of Mar- tinsville. One will never cease to thrill at see- ing our band perform and hearing it con- tribute to the field ot good music and enter- tainment. For the senior members of the band this year was especially symbolic. The past holds for them, too, unforgettable moments- tun-filled trips to football games, participa- tion in holiday parades, performances at Christmas and the Spring concerts, and the excitement of playing in district and state music festivals. Music has played an important role in the enjoyment ot our high school years. The band and the choir have done much in furthering both our music appreciation and our cultural education. This is but a small phase in our high school curriculum, yet it is an important asset in promoting a love for beauty and the fine arts. -K ffl e ri wi

The most important phase of extracurricular activities in our school life was the work in the various clubs. ln organizations such as these we not only learned the importance of working together to accomplish a goal, but we were able to see clearly the needs of our community. Leadership is essential in obtain- ing the results that a club desires, but we must always remember that i+'s what you do with what you've got that pays off in the end. iii muiiuyiwiiiwiiHiiimiii - ii iii ii ii Although a project may not be carried out to perfection, if the members of the club have truly gained by their participation in the ac- tivity, it has been a definite success. Through learning the importance of being a good club member during high school, the adults ot to- morrow will learn the meaning of co-operation and will be better equipped to meet the de- mands ot society. r, , , , f f -2 H' iii ii ir' 'Y -- lit.. l , pf ls. ii. ,,,.m,,,,,., ii... ies?ii.i.
